Fix some confusing uses of const

There are a few places where we have

typedef struct FooData { ... } FooData;
typedef FooData *Foo;

and then function declarations with

bar(const Foo x)

which isn't incorrect but probably meant

bar(const FooData *x)

meaning that the thing x points to is immutable, not x itself.

This patch makes those changes where appropriate. In one
case (execGrouping.c), the thing being pointed to was not immutable,
so in that case remove the const altogether, to avoid further
confusion.
