[Devel] [PATCH 1/2] libbpf: Fix -Wdiscarded-qualifiers under C23

glibc ≥ 2.42 (GCC 15) defaults to -std=gnu23, which promotes
-Wdiscarded-qualifiers to an error.

In C23, strstr() and strchr() return "const char *".

Change variable types to const char * where the pointers are never
modified (res, next_path).

Adapted from upstream commit d70f79fef65810faf64dbae1f3a1b5623cdb2345,
which does not apply cleanly (sym_sfx was introduced in 6.14 tree)
