Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] selftests: net: af_unix: convert param to const char* in __recvpair() to fix warning

GCC 13.2.0 reported warning about (void *) being used as a param where (char *)
is expected:

In file included from msg_oob.c:14:
msg_oob.c: In function ‘__recvpair’:
../../kselftest_harness.h:106:40: warning: format ‘%s’ expects argument of type ‘char *’, \

As Simon suggested, all calls to __recvpair() have char * as expected_buf param, so
it is safe to change param type from (const void *) to (const char *), which silences
the warning.
