firmware: use const for remaining firmware names

We currently use flexible arrays with a char at the
end for the remaining internal firmware name uses.
There are two limitations with the way we use this.
Since we're using a flexible array for a string on the
struct if we wanted to use two strings it means we'd
have a disjoint means of handling the strings, one
using the flexible array, and another a char * pointer.
We're also currently not using 'const' for the string.

We wish to later extend some firmware data structures
with other string/char pointers, but we also want to be
very pedantic about const usage. Since we're going to
change things to use 'const' we might as well also address
unified way to use multiple strings on the structs.

Replace the flexible array practice for strings with
kstrdup_const() and kfree_const(), this will avoid
allocations when the vmlinux .rodata is used, and just
allocate a new proper string for us when needed. This
also means we can simplify the struct allocations by
removing the string length from the allocation size
computation, which would otherwise get even more
complicated when supporting multiple strings.
