[Bug c++/30331] a const member function can call a non_const member function without const_cast

yes, as mandated by C++ semantics -- the static_cast creates a
new object to which fun() is applied.  That is OK.

|      // fun();       //err  

direct call to fun() is an error.

So, this PR does not report an error.  It should be closed as "mistaken".
