[Openvpn-devel,v2] Silence warning about format string in check_ca_required

From: Arne Schwabe <arne@rfc2549.org>

clang does not like if the format argument of printf like function
is not a string literal (or constant):

warning: format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure)

Make the format string constant to silence the warning.

Changes from v1:
* use const string instead of introducing "%s".

@Arne I anticipated this change because I "assumed" you would be ok with
it (patch is still yours), but feel free to comment of course.

In that spirit, assuming Antonio would have acked this had it been
submitted by Arne, I'm ready to ack this on his behalf..

Acked-by: <selva.nair@gmail.com> masquerading as "pick-your-name"

Earnestly hoping these lines don't show up again in a patch for a very long
time to come..

Your patch has been applied to the master branch.

And I side with Selva "I do not want to see more of these lines in a patch 
for a very long time" :-)
