standards; add exceptions to the coding standards for cases where this is
not desirable

own CVS tree will help minimize CVS conflicts.  Maybe not.
Blame Graff for getting me to trim all trailing whitespace.

Mostly, several functions that take pointers as arguments, almost
always char * pointers, had those pointers qualified with "const".
Those that returned pointers to previously const-qualified arguments
had their return values qualified as const.  Some structure members
were qualified as const to retain that attribute from the variables
from which they were assigned.

The macro DE_CONST was added to isc/util.h to deal with a handful of very
special places where something is qualified as const but really needs to have
its const qualifier removed.

Also cleaned up a few places where variable names clashed with reserved
identifiers.  (Which mostly works fine, but strictly speaking is undefined
by the standard.)

Minor other ISC style cleanups.

Cleanup of redundant/useless header file inclusion.

ISC style lint, primarily for function declarations and standalone
comments -- ie, those that appear on a line without any code, which
should be written as follows:
   /*
    * This is a comment.
    */
