tweaks: declare a function as const and let its allocated string leak

Avoiding this leak is more trouble than it's worth: invocation_error()
will be called seldomly, and when it is called, the user will probably
quickly exit from nano to fix things.

Also declare the speller functions as const again, so they don't give
the impression that their result can be freed.
