sort: Const correctness for C23

Description

sort: Const correctness for C23

On some platforms, e.g. Linux Clang 22.1.8 / glibc 2.43, strchr()
now implements the C23 behaviour where passing a const pointer to
strchr() also returns a const pointer. This breaks sort during
the bootstrap build, since it assumes the return value is always
a mutable pointer.

As the returned pointer is never used to modify the value, fix this
by making the temporary variable const.
