    Fix type confusion in guc_var_compare()
    
    Before this change guc_var_compare() cast the input arguments to
    const struct config_generic *.  That's not quite right however, as the input
    on one side is often just a char * on one side.
    
    Instead just use char *, the first field in config_generic.
    
    This fixes a -Warray-bounds warning with some versions of gcc. While the
    warning is only known to be triggered for <= 15, the issue the warning points
    out seems real, so apply the fix everywhere.
