Constify `struct target_desc'users/keiths/try-constify-target_descusers/keiths/constify-target_desc

PowerPC is currently the only target that is preventing the enablement
of LTO in Fedora Rawhide GDB builds. This is happening because of
an ODR vioation with `const' conflict with `struct target_desc' in regformat-
generated files (features/*.c).

This is reported as bugs build/24835 and (closed/dup) gdb/28444.

I have changed target-descriptions.c to output `const' now for this structure,
regenerated all the files, and changed a few additional non-`const' uses to use
`const'.

Regression tested on Fedora Rawhide w/LTO enabled on aarch64,
powerpc64le, x86_64, and s390x.
