fix: support compiling on Windows ARM64

`libc::c_char` in Rust differs by target architecture:
- On most platforms (x86-64 Windows, Linux, macOS) it is `i8`.
- On Windows ARM64 (AArch64) it is `u8`.

This change unconditionally casts pointers with `as *const _`:
- On Windows ARM64, this converts `*const i8` to `*const u8` (or vice versa), resolving the type mismatch that caused compilation to fail.
- On other platforms, the cast is effectively a no-op but ensures the code compiles everywhere.

`CStr::from_ptr` only requires a pointer to a null-terminated byte sequence.
The underlying representation of `i8` and `u8` is identical, so the cast is
sound.
