 timecounter: Merge FreeBSD change r304285

 Constify the pointers to eventtimer and timecounter name strings.

 The need for this appears as soon as you try to set the names to something
 that isn't a "quoted literal".  (I'm actually confused why quoted strings
 aren't a problem as well, we must have some warning disabled.)

 Update #3175.
