Subject: [PATCH] tools: enable prefer-const eslint rule
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Description from: http://eslint.org/docs/rules/prefer-const.html

If a variable is never modified, using the `const` declaration is
better. `const` declaration tells readers, "this variable is never
modified," reducing cognitive load and improving maintainability.
