[PR55641] drop spurious const_type from reference_type variables

Although C++ reference types, denoted by DW_TAG_reference_type in
DWARFv2+ debug info, are unchangeable, we output names of reference type
with DW_TAG_const_type, because internally we mark such variables as
TREE_READONLY.  That's an internal implementation detail that shouldn't
leak to debug information.  This patch fixes this.
