Join the license header with historical comments using a separator so IDEs can correctly parse the initial header.

The vast majority of this is fixing up `char *` that should be `const char *`

This removes `-Wno-write-strings` from CMakeLists.txt, as it is no longer
necessary, as there is no longer a flood of compiler warning spam when
building.
This does not fix all compiler warnings; there are still a handful, and they
are legitimate, but they can be dealt with in a future commit.
