CApiFFI: add ConstPtr for encoding const-qualified pointer return types (#22043)

Previously, when using `capi` calling convention in foreign declarations,
code generator failed to handle const-cualified pointer return types.
This resulted in CC toolchain throwing `-Wincompatible-pointer-types-discards-qualifiers`
warning.

`Foreign.C.Types.ConstPtr` newtype was introduced to handle these cases -
special treatment was put in place to generate appropritetly qualified C
wrapper that no longer triggers the above mentioned warning.

Fixes #22043
