busybox: Do not define global 'const' with clang

This helps fix segfaults when compiling with clang, the option to
define global const is configurable now in busybox [1] [2]

Turn ptr_to_globals and bb_errno to be non const

writing to a const variable is undefined behavior

This is undefined as per (C99 6.7.3 paragraph 5) see [1]
errno and ptr_to_globals is written to in code, this fails with
segfaults when compiled with clang
