SoapyAudio with USE_HAMLIB=1 fails to compile with Hamlib version >= 4.6

I am compiling SoapyAudio with the current top-of-tree Hamlib which is 4.6-git.

In git blame for include/hamlib/rig.h we see that the first arg to rig_list_foreach() has gone from 'const int' to just 'int'.

This results in the error:

SoapyAudio/Registration.cpp:92:25: error: invalid conversion from ‘int (*)(const rig_caps*, void*)’ to ‘int (*)(rig_caps*, void*)’ [-fpermissive]
   92 |         rig_list_foreach(SoapyAudio::add_hamlib_rig, 0);
      |         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      |                         |
      |                         int (*)(const rig_caps*, void*)

The fix is easy, just get rid of 'const' in two places:

I will leave it up to the SoapyAudio maintainers as to when and how to fix this.

The compiler is hinting that '-fpermissive' would make this error go away.

Maybe that's the best way to handle it, either on the command line or in a directive in the source code, given that it's best to tolerate both old and new versions of hamlib.
