Use arrays rather than pointers for global string constants

My understanding is that it's mildly better to use a static const
array, as opposed to a "const char *", for a global string constant,
when possible.  This makes sense to me because the pointer requires a
load from an address, whereas the array is just the address.

So, I searched for these in gdb and gdbserver.  This patch fixes the
ones I found.
