Remove check for `const` keyword in configure.ac

The macro `AC_C_CONST` checks whether the used C compiler supports
the keyword `const` and defines it accordingly. But as stated in
the autoconf documentation, this macro is becomming obsolete as
current C compilers `cost`. Checking is therefore no longer required.
