Peter Eisentraut 4cfce4e62c Change copyObject() to use typeof_unqual
Currently, when the argument of copyObject() is const-qualified, the
return type is also, because the use of typeof carries over all the
qualifiers.  This is incorrect, since the point of copyObject() is to
make a copy to mutate.  But apparently no code ran into it.

The new implementation uses typeof_unqual, which drops the qualifiers,
making this work correctly.

typeof_unqual is standardized in C23, but all recent versions of all
the usual compilers support it even in non-C23 mode, at least as
__typeof_unqual__.  We add a configure/meson test for typeof_unqual
and __typeof_unqual__ and use it if it's available, else we use the
existing fallback of just returning void *.
