The buffers of cached objects are never modified, but are still stored
as a non-constant pointer. This will cause a compiler warning once we
enable the `-Wwrite-strings` compiler warning as we assign an empty
constant string when initializing the static `empty_tree` cached object.

Convert the field to be constant. This requires us to shuffle around
the code a bit because we memcpy(3P) into the allocated buffer in
`pretend_object_file()`. This is easily fixed though by allocating the
buffer into a temporary variable first.
