Mark arguments to certain syscalls as being const

Mark arguments to certain system calls as being const where they should be but
aren't.  The list includes:

 (*) The filename arguments of various stat syscalls, execve(), various utimes
     syscalls and some mount syscalls.

 (*) The filename arguments of some syscall helpers relating to the above.

 (*) The buffer argument of various write syscalls.
