A recent change in glibc 2.42.9000 [1] changes the return type of
strchr() and other string functions to be 'const char *' when the
input is a 'const char *'. This breaks the build in :

../monitor/hmp.c:589:7: error: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from 
pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
   589 |     p = strchr(type, ':');
       |       ^

Fix this by changing the type of the variables that store the result
of these functions to 'const char *'.
