Patch that fixes the warning by adding a cast to void * when calling pfnFree

When compiling latest wine, I have the following warning :

../../tools/widl/widl -I../../../git-wine/dlls/actxprxy -I.
-I../../../git-wine/include -I../../include  -D__WINESRC__ -DWINE_REGISTER_DLL
-DPROXY_DELEGATION  -p -o actxprxy_shobjidl_p.c
../../../git-wine/dlls/actxprxy/actxprxy_shobjidl.idl
../../tools/widl/widl -I../../../git-wine/dlls/actxprxy -I.
-I../../../git-wine/include -I../../include  -D__WINESRC__ -DWINE_REGISTER_DLL
-DPROXY_DELEGATION  -h -o actxprxy_shobjidl.h
../../../git-wine/dlls/actxprxy/actxprxy_shobjidl.idl
gcc -c -I../../../git-wine/dlls/actxprxy -I. -I../../../git-wine/include

-Wwrite-strings -Wpointer-arith -Wlogical-op  -g -O2 -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0  -o actxprxy_shobjidl_p.o actxprxy_shobjidl_p.c
actxprxy_shobjidl_p.c: In function ‘__finally_IFileDialog_SetFileTypes_Stub’:
actxprxy_shobjidl_p.c:94496:9: warning: passing argument 1 of
‘__frame->_StubMsg.pfnFree’ discards qualifiers from pointer target type
actxprxy_shobjidl_p.c:94496:9: note: expected ‘void *’ but argument is of type
‘const struct COMDLG_FILTERSPEC *’

The actxprxy_shobjidl_p.c file is generated by widl from include/shobjidl.idl.
I found 3 references for pfnFree in tools/widl/typegen.c so I added a (void *)
cast 3 times with more or less spaces.

It appears the relevant pfnFree is at typegen.c:3778.

I'm attaching a patch that made the warning disappear.
Can someone tell me if this is the right approach ?

Ideally, wine would compile without any warning whatever your compiler or
architecture is.
