The type not being used in do_bug_frame() is suspicious. Apparently
that's solely because the type uses a pointer-to-const parameter,
when run_in_exception_handler() wants functions taking pointer-to-non-
const. Drop the const, in turn requiring Arm's do_bug_frame() to also
have its const dropped. This then brings that function also closer to
the common one, with Arm's use of vaddr_t remaining as a difference.

This is an alternative proposal to
https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2023-12/msg01385.html,
albeit without paving a road towards Andrew's desire of getting rid of
show_execution_state_nonconst() again. Retaining (and propagating) the
const would imply the need to cast away the const-ness somewhere on (at
least) the path to invoking gdb stub code. Personally I'm averse to such
casting away of const-ness ...
