format-security: move static strings to const

While examining output from trial builds with -Wformat-security enabled,
many strings were found that should be defined as "const", or as a char
array instead of char pointer.  This makes some static analysis easier,
by producing fewer false positives.

As these are all trivial changes, it seemed best to put them all in a
single patch rather than chopping them up per maintainer.
