open-vm-tools: backport patch to build with glibc 2.43

As the subject says.

Fixes error:
| ../../../sources/open-vm-tools-13.0.10/open-vm-tools/lib/hgfs/hgfsEscape.c: In function 'HgfsAddEscapeCharacter':
| ../../../sources/open-vm-tools-13.0.10/open-vm-tools/lib/hgfs/hgfsEscape.c:201:15: error: assignment discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
|   201 |       illegal = strchr(HGFS_ILLEGAL_CHARS, bufIn[escapeContext->processedOffset]);

+Subject: [PATCH] fix initialization discards 'const' qualifier from pointer
+ target type
+
+Since glibc-2.43:
+
+For ISO C23, the functions bsearch, memchr, strchr, strpbrk, strrchr,
+strstr, wcschr, wcspbrk, wcsrchr, wcsstr and wmemchr that return
+pointers into their input arrays now have definitions as macros that
+return a pointer to a const-qualified type when the input argument is
+a pointer to a const-qualified type.
