[PATCH] fix for compiling 1.1.0rc2 on IRIX 6.5

The IRIX cc compiler generates errors compiling Subversion 1.1.0rc2 on
IRIX 6.5. Redefining the character arrays as pointers resolves these
errors and allows Subversion to properly build with MIPSpro cc 7.30 on
IRIX 6.5.9 without BDB. It's an older system version, but numerous
reasons have prevented upgrades. Therefore, here's the simple fix that
I used to get my repository up and running.

* subversion/clients/cmdline/cl.h:
   (svn_cl__help_header, svn_cl__help_footer ): Changed declarations
from const char[] to const char*.
* subversion/clients/cmdline/help-cmd.c:
   (svn_cl__help_header, svn_cl__help_footer ): Changed definitions from
const char[] to const char*.
