bpf: Have bpf_rdonly_cast() take a const pointer

Since 20d59ee55172 ("libbpf: add bpf_core_cast() macro"), libbpf is now
exporting a const arg version of bpf_rdonly_cast(). This causes the
following conflicting type error when generating kfunc prototypes from
BTF:

In file included from skeleton/pid_iter.bpf.c:5:
/home/dxu/dev/linux/tools/bpf/bpftool/bootstrap/libbpf/include/bpf/bpf_core_read.h:297:14: error: conflicting types for 'bpf_rdonly_cast'
extern void *bpf_rdonly_cast(const void *obj__ign, __u32 btf_id__k) __ksym __weak;
             ^
./vmlinux.h:135625:14: note: previous declaration is here
extern void *bpf_rdonly_cast(void *obj__ign, u32 btf_id__k) __weak __ksym;

This is b/c the kernel defines bpf_rdonly_cast() with non-const arg.
Since const arg is more permissive and thus backwards compatible, we
change the kernel definition as well to avoid conflicting type errors.
