[Swan-dev] pluto: sprinkle const on many struct fd * parameters

[Andrew Cagney]

Hugh,

This feels wrong - struct fd is opaque so what more needs to be said?
Adding the 'const', forces an internal detail onto the clients and an
artifical limitation on the implementation.  For instance:

ssize_t fd_read(const struct fd *fd, void *buf, size_t nbytes,
        where_t where);

is prevented from modifying the structure it owns.
