Make error_append_security_model_hint and
error_append_socket_sockfd_hint hint append helpers well formed:
switch errp paramter to Error *const * type, as it has uncommon
behavior: not change the pointer to return error, but operate on
already existent error object.

Let's adapt PATCH 03's commit message, like this:

    9pfs: make Error **errp const where it is appropriate

    Mostly, Error ** is for returning error from the function, so the
    callee sets it. However error_append_security_model_hint and
    error_append_socket_sockfd_hint get already filled errp
    parameter. They don't change the pointer itself, only change the
    internal state of referenced Error object. So we can make it Error
    *const * errp, to stress the behavior. It will also help coccinelle
    script (in future) to distinguish such cases from common errp usage.

With something like that:
