report descriptors are not meant to be constified outside of the HID core. Enforce this invariant through the type system. In addition it also allows the constification of static report descriptors used by the report_fixup() callbacks. This makes it clear to driver authors that the HID core will not modify those reports and they can be reused for multiple devices. Furthermore security is slightly improved as those reports are protected against accidental or malicious modifications. Patches "HID: constify hid_device::dev_rdesc" and "HID: constify hid_device::rdesc" are very similar but the patch "HID: constify params and return value of fetch_item()" needs to be in between. It would however be possible to squash them together. Only the cmedia driver has their static report descriptor constified as a proof of concept as I'm the maintainer for that one, I didn't want to spam all driver maintainers at this point. I have patches for all other drivers that I'll submit after this series is merged. Note, this is only compile-tested.
