Build failure with 0.10.3 on aarch64

[thias]

I've bumped into a build issue with Aerospike's early alpha module. It's happening on aarch64 only, x86_64 builds fine. It used to build fine for both archs with php-rs version earlier than 0.10.3.

https://github.com/aerospike/php-client/issues/9

I'm pasting the same output from the ticket above here:

Searching for the error, I came across https://users.rust-lang.org/t/expected-const-i8-found-const-u8-for-c-function-pointer-waiting-for-a-const-char/2441 which mentions that std::ffi::CString could be the correct structure to us for cases like this.

It seems to me that the issue might have been introduced in 064ef747c1988d2749d346ac3ec7b8ea1b962536 by @danog.

Should be all good now!

It built fine now, thanks a lot!
