[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/tls_openssl: fix warnings when openssl is lower version

In higher versions (like openssl 1.1.1 and higher),
the function signature is BIO *BIO_new_mem_buf(const void *buf, int len),
so passing a const string doesn't cause an warnings.
However, in lower versions of OpenSSL,
the function signature becomes BIO *BIO_new_mem_buf(void *buf, int len),
which leads to warnings.

OpenSSL guarantees that it will not modify the string,
so it's safe to cast the pem_str to (void *) to avoid this warning.
