There were some frustrating problems with the implementation of

-Wwrite-strings. First and foremost, once the positive form of the flag
was passed, it could never be disabled by passing -Wno-write-strings.
Also, the diagnostic engine couldn't in turn use -Wwrite-strings to
control diagnostics (as GCC does) because it was essentially hijacked to
drive the language semantics.

Fix this by giving CC1 a clean '-fconst-strings' flag to enable
const-qualified strings in C and ObjC compilations. Corresponding
'-fno-const-strings' is also added. Then the driver is taught to
introduce '-fconst-strings' in the CC1 command when '-Wwrite-strings'
dominates.

This entire flag is basically GCC-bug-compatibility driven, so we also
match GCC's bug where '-w' doesn't actually disable -Wwrite-strings. I'm
open to changing this though as it seems insane.
