Get rid of scribbling on a const variable in psql's print.c.

Get rid of scribbling on a const variable in psql's print.c. Commit a2dabf0e1dda93c8 had the bright idea that it could modify a "const" global variable if it merely casted away const from a pointer. This does not work on platforms where the compiler puts "const" variables into read-only storage. Depressingly, we evidently have no such platforms in our buildfarm ... an oversight I have now remedied. (The one platform that is known to catch this is recent OS X with -fno-common.) Per report from Chris Ruprecht. Back-patch to 9.5 where the bogus code was introduced.
