Limited support for `const` qualifier

Right now const
is discarded, however, it should be possible to support its use in certain places, namely:
extern const int PI;
struct point { int x; int y; };
const struct point *get_cursor(void);
typedef bool (*visitor)(const struct point *point);
For variables (#70), the Scala definition should use val
and for structs, one idea is to generate a separate type alias for const
structs with an ops
implicit class that does not contain the field_=
methods. It would be nice to come up with an encoding that allows non-const
structs to be assigned to a const
version and disallow the inverse.
