    fix compiling with musl
    
    See merge request apt-team/apt!508

commit 4aa4fcfa83a7866ce1868465b473239326f92c7c
Author: Gyorgy Sarvari <skandigraun@gmail.com>
Date:   Sat Aug 30 18:51:20 2025 +0200

    fix compiling with musl
    
    In case apt is compiled against musl-libc, then compilation fails with the
    following error:
    
    cmdline/apt-internal-solver.cc:122:20: error: 'basename' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'rename'?
    |   122 |         if (strcmp(basename(argv[0]), "solver3") == 0)
    |       |                    ^~~~~~~~
    |       |                    rename
    
    To fix it, include libgen header where musl can find this function also.
    
    Once this is fixed, compilation fails once again with musl-libc, because
    the basename function takes *char argument instead of const *char:
    this is because the musl implementation cuts off the trailing slashes
    of the path, in case the argument is a folder path.
    
    To account for this, instead of passing argv[0] directly, create a non-const
    string copy of it, and pass that to base.
