This reverts commit 582958c4337f539e650096c0257a322315298e1a.

Drop "const" from these anchor variables - like they are in clang-tidy

Turns out, MSVC likely doesn't conform with the C++ standard and makes
`const volatile` global variables have *internal* linkage - while they
should have *external* linkage.

https://eel.is/c++draft/basic.link#3.2
```
(3) The name of an entity that belongs to a namespace scope has internal linkage if it is the name of
(3.1) a variable, variable template, function, or function template that is explicitly declared static; or
(3.2) a non-template variable of non-volatile const-qualified type, unless
(3.2.1) it is declared in the purview of a module interface unit (outside the private-module-fragment, if any) or module partition, or
(3.2.2) it is explicitly declared extern, or
(3.2.3) it is inline, or
(3.2.4) it was previously declared and the prior declaration did not have internal linkage; or
```

Consequently, `const volatile` globals should NOT have *internal*
linkage, because `volatile` variables are exempt by (3.2).

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Drop "const" from these anchor variables - like they are
 in clang-tidy

Turns out, MSVC likely doesn't conform with the C++ standard and makes
`const volatile` global variables have *internal* linkage - while they
should have *external* linkage.

https://eel.is/c++draft/basic.link#3.2
```
(3) The name of an entity that belongs to a namespace scope has internal linkage if it is the name of
(3.1) a variable, variable template, function, or function template that is explicitly declared static; or
(3.2) a non-template variable of non-volatile const-qualified type, unless
(3.2.1) it is declared in the purview of a module interface unit (outside the private-module-fragment, if any) or module partition, or
(3.2.2) it is explicitly declared extern, or
(3.2.3) it is inline, or
(3.2.4) it was previously declared and the prior declaration did not have internal linkage; or
```

Consequently, `const volatile` globals should NOT have *internal*
linkage, because `volatile` variables are exempt by (3.2).
