There are multiple cases where we intentionally leak config strings:
- `struct gpg_format` is used to track programs that can be used for
signing commits, either via gpg(1), gpgsm(1) or ssh-keygen(1). The
user can override the commands via several config variables. As the
array is populated once, only, and will never be free'd, it is fine
to treat the program as a quasi-constant.
- `struct ll_merge_driver` is used to track merge drivers. Same as
with the GPG format, these drivers are populated once and then
reused. Its data is never free'd, either.
- `struct userdiff_funcname` and `struct userdiff_driver` can be
configured via `diff.<driver>.*` to add additional drivers. Again,
these have a global lifetime and are never free'd.
All of these are intentionally kept alive and never free'd. Furthermore,
all of these are being assigned both string constants in some places,
and allocated strings in other places. This will cause warnings once we
enable `-Wwrite-strings`, so let's mark the respective fields as `const
char *` and cast away the constness when assigning those values.
