pkg/compiler: allow manual consts to override auto-extracted consts

Currently if const values in 2 .const files have different value,
the compiler produces an error.
This is problematic for auto-extacted consts since we extract
them for only 1 arch now. So if a const has different values
for different arches, auto-extacted consts may not reflect that,
and we can get a mismatch with manual descriptions that has
correct values for all arches.
So if both manual and auto-extacted consts have different values,
silently prefer the manual ones.

I've tried to do some whitelisting of consts during auto-extaction,
but the list is large and changing over time.

This solution is not perfect since the manual descriptions may
have a bug, and the mismatch is actually pointing to that bug.
Maybe in future we could extract for all arches separately,
or do something else. But let's do this for now.
