Cleanup: return gasmix by value
Currently, get_gasmix_from_event() and get_gasmix() return pointers to either static or to (possibly changing) dive data. This seems like a dangerous practice and the returned data should be used immediately. Instead, return the gasmix by value. This is in preparation of const-ifying input parameters of a number of core functions, which will ultimately let the merge() function take const-arguments in preparation of undo of dive-merging. On common 64-bit systems gasmix (two "int"s) is the size of a pointer and can be returned in a register. On 32-bit systems a pointer to the struct to be filled out will be passed. Since get_gasmix() now returns a value, the first invocation is tested by a NULL-initialized "struct event *". Document this in a comment. Signed-off-by: Berthold Stoeger <bstoeger@mail.tuwien.ac.at>
