I pushed a few very obvious ones.

An additional fix, for the system attributes in heap.c, is attached. But
that's a bit more invasive, so I wanted to get some input.

I think all of the changes are fairly obvious and the new const
attributes just document what already had to be the case.  But to
correctly propagate the const through typedef-the-pointer-away typedefs,
I had to use the underlying type (e.g. use const NameData *n2 instad of
Name n2). To me that's the correct fix, but then I hate these typedefs
with a passion anyway.  An alternative fix is to add additional
typedefs like ConstName, but I don't find that particularly
advantageous.

Comments?

Arguably we should use consts more aggresively in signatures anyway, but
I think that's a separate effort.

Greetings,

Andres Freund

Subject: [PATCH] Correct constness of system attributes in heap.c &
 prerequisites.

This allows the compiler / linker to mark affected pages as read-only.

There's a fair number of pre-requisite changes, so the const can
properly be propagated. Most of these were already required for
correctness anyway.  Arguably we could be more aggressive in using
consts in related code, but..
