Fixes a build error caught by the Gitlab pipelines:

/builds/bkuhls/buildroot/br-test-pkg/bootlin-aarch64-glibc-old/build/taglib-2.3/taglib/mpeg/mpegfile.cpp:113:10:
 error: expected primary-expression before ‘const’
       if(const Header header(&file, headerOffset + i, true); header.isValid()) {

which was introduced by code format changes in upstream commit
https://github.com/taglib/taglib/commit/dfe2aa52532fc9f73a67499dd17fb527a856a22f

which was first released with taglib 2.0, added to buildroot with commit
9cd3464afa13fd0190fb3e94fd850cc8063cf297.

I have no idea if this patch is correct, at least blocking gcc 6 makes
the Gitlab pipelines happy. It seems to me that the upstream commit uses
newer language features not supported by gcc 6, but with my limited
knowledge about C++ I could not find evidence to support my theory.
