The intention of the code is just to not report an error message when
'typefile' doesn't exist. If we call access(2) and then fopen(2),
there's a race. It's not a huge problem, and the worst thing that can
happen is reporting an error when the file has been removed after
access(2). It's not a problem, but we can fix the race and at the same
time clarify the intention of not warning about ENOENT and also remove
one syscall. Seems like a win-win.

- Every non-const pointer converts automatically to void *.
- Every pointer converts automatically to void *.
- void * converts to any other pointer.
- const void * converts to any other const pointer.
- Integer variables convert to each other.
I changed the declaration of a few variables in order to allow removing
a cast.
However, I didn't attempt to edit casts inside comparisons, since they
are very delicate. I also kept casts in variadic functions, since they
are necessary, and in allocation functions, because I have other plans
for them.
I also changed a few casts to int that are better as ptrdiff_t.
This change has triggered some warnings about const correctness issues,
which have also been fixed in this patch (see for example src/login.c).
