Re: Make SPI_prepare argtypes argument const

Reviewed this. LGTM.

I checked that argtypes / param_types is only ever read or copied along
this path (never written or freed through the pointer), so const-qualifying
it is sound rather than merely tolerated. In particular CompleteCachedPlan()
palloc's its own copy and never retains the caller's array. pg_analyze_and_
rewrite_fixedparams() already takes const Oid *, so no further change is
needed there.

Applies cleanly on HEAD and builds without warnings here.
