const'ify our strtod() helper functions

The C library doesn't use const char pointers for legacy reasons (and
because you *can* modify the string the end pointer points to), but
let's do it in our internal implementation just because it's a nice
guarantee to have.

We actually used to have a non-const end pointer and replace a decimal
comma with a decimal dot, but that was because we didn't have the fancy
"allow commas" flags.  So by using our own strtod_flags() function, we
can now keep all the strings we parse read-only rather than modify them
as we parse them.
