[i-g-t 1/4] runner/settings: Update absolute_path function to accept const char* parameter

[Naladala Ramanaidu]

Modified the absolute_path function in settings.c to take a
const char* parameter instead of char*. Updated the corresponding
declaration in settings.h.This change ensures that the input path
is not modified within the function, improving code safety and clarity.
