In a previous commit, the get_gasmix_* functions were changed to
return by value. For consistency, also pass gasmix by value.
Note that on common 64-bit platforms struct gasmix is the size
of a pointer [2 * 32 bit vs. 64 bit] and therefore uses the
same space on the stack. On 32-bit platforms, the stack use
is probably doubled, but in return a dereference is avoided.
Supporting arbitrary gas-mixes (H2, Ar, ...) will be such an
invasive change that going back to pointers is probably the
least of our worries.
This commit is a step in const-ifying input parameters (passing
by value is the ultimate way of signaling that the input parameter
will not be changed [unless there are references to said parameter]).
