In testmgr, struct pcomp_testvec takes a non-const 'params' field, which is
pointed to a const deflate_comp_params or deflate_decomp_params object. With
gcc-5 this incurs the following warnings:
In file included from ../crypto/testmgr.c:44:0:
../crypto/testmgr.h:28736:13: warning: initialization discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-array-qualifiers]
.params = &deflate_comp_params,
^
../crypto/testmgr.h:28748:13: warning: initialization discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-array-qualifiers]
.params = &deflate_comp_params,
^
../crypto/testmgr.h:28776:13: warning: initialization discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-array-qualifiers]
.params = &deflate_decomp_params,
^
../crypto/testmgr.h:28800:13: warning: initialization discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-array-qualifiers]
.params = &deflate_decomp_params,
^
Fix this by making the parameters pointer const and constifying the things
that use it.

The current "comp" crypto interface supports one-shot (de)compression only,
i.e. the whole data buffer to be (de)compressed must be passed at once, and
the whole (de)compressed data buffer will be received at once.
In several use-cases (e.g. compressed file systems that store files in big
compressed blocks), this workflow is not suitable.
Furthermore, the "comp" type doesn't provide for the configuration of
(de)compression parameters, and always allocates workspace memory for both
compression and decompression, which may waste memory.
To solve this, add a "pcomp" partial (de)compression interface that provides
the following operations:
- crypto_compress_{init,update,final}() for compression,
- crypto_decompress_{init,update,final}() for decompression,
- crypto_{,de}compress_setup(), to configure (de)compression parameters
(incl. allocating workspace memory).
The (de)compression methods take a struct comp_request, which was mimicked
after the z_stream object in zlib, and contains buffer pointer and length
pairs for input and output.
The setup methods take an opaque parameter pointer and length pair. Parameters
are supposed to be encoded using netlink attributes, whose meanings depend on
the actual (name of the) (de)compression algorithm.
