The issues found fell into these categories, with the applied fixes:
- const was accidentally stripped.
Adjust code to not cast or cast with const.
- const/volatile missing from arguments, local variables.
Constify arguments or variables, adjust/delete casts. Small code
changes in a few places.
- const must be stripped because an API dependency requires it.
Strip `const` with `CURL_UNCONST()` macro to silence the warning out
of our control. These happen at API boundaries. Sometimes they depend
on dependency version, which this patch handles as necessary. Also
enable const support for the zlib API, using `ZLIB_CONST`. Supported
by zlib 1.2.5.2 and newer.
- const must be stripped because a curl API requires it.
Strip `const` with `CURL_UNCONST()` macro to silence the warning out
of our immediate control. For example we promise to send a non-const
argument to a callback, though the data is const internally.
- other cases where we may avoid const stripping by code changes.
Also silenced with `CURL_UNCONST()`.
- there are 3 places where `CURL_UNCONST()` is cast again to const.
To silence this type of warning:
```
lib/vquic/curl_osslq.c:1015:29: error: to be safe all intermediate
pointers in cast from 'unsigned char **' to 'const unsigned char **'
must be 'const' qualified [-Werror=cast-qual]
lib/cf-socket.c:734:32: error: to be safe all intermediate pointers in
cast from 'char **' to 'const char **' must be 'const' qualified
[-Werror=cast-qual]
```
There may be a better solution, but I couldn't find it.
These cases are handled in separate subcommits, but without further
markup.
If you see a `-Wcast-qual` warning in curl, we appreciate your report
about it.
Closes#16142
Before this patch, the result code was a mixture of `int` and
`CURLcode`.
Also adjust casts and fix a couple of minor issues found along the way.

Use the test macros to automatically propagate some errors, and check
and log others while running the tests. This can help in debugging
exactly why a test has failed.
- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
