In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast(). Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.
I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc. Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes. The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].
One cast was required as a result of the changes: A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.
memset() wrote one past the end of the buffer, which was likely to be unused padding or a yet-to-be-initialized local variable. This routine is already tested by test_socket.
Added setbdaddr and makebdaddr.
Extended makesockaddr to understand Bluetooth addresses.
Changed getsockaddr to expect the Bluetooth addresses as a string,
not a six element tuple.
Reformatted some of the Bluetooth code to be more consistent with PEP 7.
