gcry_mpi_t is defined as "typedef struct gcry_mpi *gcry_mpi_t;".
When const is applied to this type, it resolves to
"struct gcry_mpi *const" instead of what we expect ("const struct gcry_mpi *").
So we end up with a const pointer to a mutable object instead of a mutable
pointer to a const object. Since the pointer passed to the function
is copied regardless, making it const has zero benefit.
You'd think we could instead stop using gcry_mpi_t and replace it with
"const struct gcry_mpi *", except that gcrypt leaked this mess into its
api, so it expects const pointers to mutable objects as well, which means
we can't take pointers to const objects as arguments, as we'd discard the qualifier
when calling a gcrypt function.
To avoid confusion, let's drop the const qualifiers from the gcry_mpi_t arguments.
