commit    e179115dc04159eb364ffda88fed82e511aff0f7
Author:   Peter Eisentraut <peter@eisentraut.org>

First released in: 18.0

    Fix incorrect const qualifier
    
    Commit 7202d72787d added in passing some const qualifiers, but the one
    on the postmaster_child_launch() startup_data argument was incorrect,
    because the function itself modifies the pointed-to data.  This is
    hidden from the compiler because of casts.  The qualifiers on the
    functions called by postmaster_child_launch() are still correct.
