const is fine on ares__channel_[un]lock (#758)

at https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/pull/601#issuecomment-1801935063 you
chose not to scatter `const` on the public interface because of the plan
- now realised - to add threading to c-ares, and in the expectation that
even read operations would need to lock the mutex.

But the threading implementation has a _pointer_ to a mutex inside the
ares channel and as I understand it, that means that it is just fine to
mark `ares__channel_lock` (and `ares__channel_unlock`) as taking a
`const` channel. It is the pointed-to mutex that is not constant, but C
does not propagate `const`-ness through pointers.

This PR sprinkles const where appropriate on public interfaces.
