libgphoto2: Fix c23 build errors

Fixes errors e.g.

error: assigning to 'char *' from 'const char *' discards qualifiers [-Werror,-Wincompatible-pointer-types-discards-qualifiers]
  131 |         dot = strrchr(filename, '.');
      |             ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They are latent and brought to fore with autoconf 2.73 which switches
defaults to use -std=gnu23

Subject: [PATCH] libgphoto2: fix const-correctness for c23 builds
C23 treats the return values of strrchr() and strchr() as const char *
when the input string is const-qualified. Update local variables to use
const char * where appropriate to avoid discarded-qualifier warnings and
build failures with -std=gnu23.
No functional change intended.
