Constify strings in tracepoint.c, lookup_cmd and the completers.

This is sort of a continuation of Keith's parse_exp_1 constification
patch.  It started out by undoing these bits:

  @@ -754,9 +754,12 @@ validate_actionline (char **line, struct
   	  tmp_p = p;
   	  for (loc = t->base.loc; loc; loc = loc->next)
   	    {
  -	      p = tmp_p;
  -	      exp = parse_exp_1 (&p, loc->address,
  +	      const char *q;
  +
  +	      q = tmp_p;
  +	      exp = parse_exp_1 (&q, loc->address,
   				 block_for_pc (loc->address), 1);
  +	      p = (char *) q;

and progressively making more things const upwards, fixing fallout,
rinse repeat, until GDB built again (--enable-targets=all).

That ended up constifying lookup_cmd/add_cmd and (lots of) friends,
and the completers.

I didn't try to constify the command hooks themselves, because I know
upfront there are commands that write to the command string argument,
and I think I managed to stop at a nice non-hacky split point already.

I think the only non-really-super-obvious changes are
tracepoint.c:validate_actionline, and tracepoint.c:trace_dump_actions.

The rest is just mostly about 'char *' => 'const char *', 'char **'=>
'const char **', and the occasional (e.g., deprecated_cmd_warning)
case of 'char **'=> 'const char *', where/when I noticed that nothing
actually cares about the pointer to pointer output.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native and gdbserver.
