We've been seen (very sporadic) lifetime issues around this area. We noticed that `GetMangledName` has two accessors, one of which returns a non-const reference. I audited all the callsites and no users of this overload actually mutate the `ConstString` itself (which is a suspicious thing to do anyway since it's just a wrapper around a `const char*`).

This patch removes the redundant overload.
