Anna Henningsen ccddea063b [api] mark readonly usage of StartupData as const
This doesn’t have much practical effect, since the actual
byte contents referred to by `StartupData` are already marked
`const`, but adding the qualifier communicates more clearly
to users that V8 does not perform modifications on the object.

Practically speaking, this also allows for cases in which the
startup data is included as readonly data in the current executable
without requiring a `const_cast`.
