Description

Current bip fails to build with recent GCC versions and default compiler flags:

src/log.c:442:37: error: duplicate 'const' declaration specifier [-Werror=duplicate-decl-specifier]
 void log_part(log_t *logdata, const const char *ircmask, const char *channel,
                                     ^~~~~
src/log.c:443:9: error: duplicate 'const' declaration specifier [-Werror=duplicate-decl-specifier]
   const const char *message)
         ^~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Indeed there are two const const char declarations in src/log.c log_part function. I'm attaching a patch that fixes these.

Having trouble attaching a file, so here's the patch in-line, it's pretty trivial:

That's one two many consts...recent GCC blips on this.
