[2/8] revision: make get_revision_mark() return const pointer

Commit Message

Denton Liu Nov. 4, 2019, 8:03 p.m. UTC

get_revision_mark() used to return a `char *`, even though all of the
strings it was returning were string literals. Make get_revision_mark()
return a `const char *` so that callers won't be tempted to modify the
returned string.
