Preserve constness in casting arguments through the Data*() routines

Casts were annoying gcc by dropping constness when changing types,
when routines simply either copy data into the request buffer or
send it directly to the X server, and never modify the input.

Fixes gcc warnings including:
ChProp.c: In function 'XChangeProperty':
ChProp.c:65:6: warning: cast discards '__attribute__((const))' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wcast-qual]
ChProp.c:65:6: warning: cast discards '__attribute__((const))' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wcast-qual]
