I changed the declaration of a few variables in order to allow removing
a cast.
However, I didn't attempt to edit casts inside comparisons, since they
are very delicate. I also kept casts in variadic functions, since they
are necessary, and in allocation functions, because I have other plans
for them.
I also changed a few casts to int that are better as ptrdiff_t.
This change has triggered some warnings about const correctness issues,
which have also been fixed in this patch (see for example src/login.c).

In variadic functions we still do the cast. In POSIX, it's not
necessary, since NULL is required to be of type 'void *', and 'void *'
is guaranteed to have the same alignment and representation as 'char *'.
However, since ISO C still doesn't mandate that, and moreover they're
doing dubious stuff by adding nullptr, let's be on the cautious side.
Also, C++ requires that NULL is _not_ 'void *', but either plain 0 or
some magic stuff.
