firmware: use const for remaining firmware names
We currently use flexible arrays with a char at the end for the remaining internal firmware name uses. There are two limitations with the way we use this. Since we're using a flexible array for a string on the struct if we wanted to use two strings it means we'd have a disjoint means of handling the strings, one using the flexible array, and another a char * pointer. We're also currently not using 'const' for the string. We wish to later extend some firmware data structures with other string/char pointers, but we also want to be very pedantic about const usage. Since we're going to change things to use 'const' we might as well also address unified way to use multiple strings on the structs. Replace the flexible array practice for strings with kstrdup_const() and kfree_const(), this will avoid allocations when the vmlinux .rodata is used, and just allocate a new proper string for us when needed. This also means we can simplify the struct allocations by removing the string length from the allocation size computation, which would otherwise get even more complicated when supporting multiple strings.
