I left the errmsg parameter non-const as the string may be freed when
the should_free parameter is true. Now that it's const, I get
warnings in all the places that try to free it. Basically, whichever
way we do this we're screwed as this function can't take both a const
and a non-const parameter. Even providing two versions, one that
frees and one that doesn't wont help as unless the session itself has
one pointer for the const string and one for the freeable non-const
string.
Do we ever actually call libssh2_error with a string we want freed?
I've not come across any but its tricky to search for.

I'm developing on Windows but I'll try to build on Linux before
pushing in future.
