When copying refs, we execute `write_copy_table()` to write the new table. As the names are given to us via `arg->newname` and `arg->oldname`, respectively, we optimize away some allocations by assigning those fields to the reftable records we are about to write directly, without duplicating them. This requires us to cast the input to `char *` pointers as they are in fact constant strings. Later on, we then unset the refname for all of the records before calling `reftable_log_record_release()` on them. We also do this when assigning the "HEAD" constant, but here we do not cast because its type is `char[]` by default. It's about to be turned into `const char *` though once we enable `-Wwrite-strings` and will thus cause another warning. It's quite dubious whether this micro-optimization really helps. We're about to write to disk anyway, which is going to be way slower than a small handful of allocations. Let's drop the optimization altogther and instead copy arguments to simplify the code and avoid the future warning with `-Wwrite-strings`.
