Commit 4af3d83170fd changed the @opt parameter to conf_runas() to a const pointer, to remove a cppcheck error. However, that error was a false positive. We *do* modify that parameter via an aliased pointer within it retreived from strchr(). At least with gcc 16.1.1 that now causes a "discards const" warning. Revert that change and instead directly suppress the cppcheck warning.
