proc: give /proc/cmdline size

Most /proc files don't have length (in fstat sense).  This leads to
inefficiencies when reading such files with APIs commonly found in modern
programming languages.  They open file, then fstat descriptor, get st_size
== 0 and either assume file is empty or start reading without knowing
target size.

cat(1) does OK because it uses large enough buffer by default.  But naive
programs copy-pasted from SO aren't:

	let mut f = std::fs::File::open("/proc/cmdline").unwrap();
	let mut buf: Vec<u8> = Vec::new();
	f.read_to_end(&mut buf).unwrap();

will result in

	openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/cmdline", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
	statx(0, NULL, AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT, STATX_ALL, NULL) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
	statx(3, "", AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT|AT_EMPTY_PATH, STATX_ALL, {stx_mask=STATX_BASIC_STATS|STATX_MNT_ID, stx_attributes=0, stx_mode=S_IFREG|0444, stx_size=0, ...}) = 0
	lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR)                   = 0
	read(3, "BOOT_IMAGE=(hd3,gpt2)/vmlinuz-5.", 32) = 32
	read(3, "19.6-100.fc35.x86_64 root=/dev/m", 32) = 32
	read(3, "apper/fedora_localhost--live-roo"..., 64) = 64
	read(3, "ocalhost--live-swap rd.lvm.lv=fe"..., 128) = 116
	read(3, "", 12)

open/stat is OK, lseek looks silly but there are 3 unnecessary reads
because Rust starts with 32 bytes per Vec<u8> and grows from there.

In case of /proc/cmdline, the length is known precisely.

Make variables readonly while I'm at it.

P.S.: I tried to scp /proc/cpuinfo today and got empty file
	but this is separate story.
