setup: constify settings passed to setup_func
setup_func isn't formally defined for libtil, but
setup_interactively() defacto establishes it and
til_module_t.setup() reflects the same signature and calling
convention except with til_settings_t constified.
This change makes them all consistent in this regard, but there
should probably be a formal typedef added for the function.
The reason for constifying this is I don't want setup functions
directly manipulating the settings instance. In the case of
rototiller::setup_interactively() we ensure the stdio-based
interactive setup is always the side doing the manipulation of
the settings. For a libtil-user like glimmer, it's slightly
different beast with GTK+ in the loop, but by preventing the
setup_funcs from messing directly with the settings (instead
having to describe what they want done iteratively), the
front-end always gets its opportunity to maintain its state while
doing the described things.
Of course, this is mostly a lie, and within libtil the constified
til_settings_t gets cast away to modify it in places. But
keeping that limited to within libtil is tolerable IMO. We just
don't want to see such casts in module code.
