Change the type merge_fn_t to accept the array of cache_entry pointers
as const pointers to const pointers.  This documents the fact that the
merge functions don't modify the cache_entry contents or replace any of
the pointers in the array.

Only a single cast is necessary in unpack_nondirectories because adding
two const modifiers at once is not allowed in C.  The cast is safe in
that it doesn't mask any modfication; call_unpack_fn only needs the
array for reading.
