In C, strings are char pointers, not unsigned char pointers.  And
arbitrary data is represented by a void pointer.  Change buffer_list_push
and buffer_list_push_data to follow these rules, and remove any now
unneeded casts.

.. because it gets rid of lots of extra casts that are only there because
the base types have been wrong, and people added casts to make compilers
happy...  (my favourite gripe).

Your patch has been applied to the master and release/2.4 branch.
