Constify thread name return path
Since this code path returns a string owned by the target (we don't know how it's allocated, could be a static read-only string), it's safer if we return a constant string. If, for some reasons, the caller wishes to modify the string, it should make itself a copy. gdb/ChangeLog: * linux-nat.c (linux_nat_thread_name): Constify return value. * target.h (struct target_ops) <to_thread_name>: Likewise. (target_thread_name): Likewise. * target.c (target_thread_name): Likewise. * target-delegates.c (debug_thread_name): Regenerate. * python/py-infthread.c (thpy_get_name): Constify local variables. * thread.c (print_thread_info): Likewise. (thread_find_command): Likewise.
