pkg/longpath: deprecate Prefix const

thaJeztah · thaJeztah · commit 424c22390ea3 · 2024-06-17T12:03:27.000+02:00
This const was exported because it was in use by pkg/symlink. This dependency was removed in a48c6e3, after which this const was only used internally. This patch deprecates the const and introduces a non-exported const to use. There are no known external consumers of this const, so we may skip deprecating it.
