building mod_rivet with Tcl 8.7 and 9.0

[Massimo Manghi <ma...@alice.it>]

I tried to build mod_rivet (branch 'master') with both the latest alpha 
releases of Tcl8.7 and 9.0

Tcl8.7 built successfully after the CONST84 definitions were turned into 
plain 'const' qualifiers. Building mod_rivet with Tcl 9.0 fails because 
CONST84 and other macros that were deprecated in Tcl 8.7, have now been 
removed altogether in 9.0 (See TIP #485). These macros had been mostly 
defined to support deprecated features in old C compilers.

Nonetheless TIP #485 implies quite a few changes in the library API. It 
might have no consequences on our code but in case it had a larger 
impact I would create a tcl9 branch out of master to work on the issue
