src: use const parameters in base64_decode_slow() 
Make parameters as const since it's both better at its own and
consistent with base64_decode_fast() and base64_decode().

Is the second const for src necessary?

Not strictly necessary, but why not add it if we don't mutate the pointer? And that would be consistent with base64_decode_slow() (line 90) and base64_decode() (line 122).

@richardlau The first const declares the pointed-to memory immutable, the second one declares the pointer itself immutable (i.e., not reassignable.)
