Add GCC >= gcc 4 support for default hidden/explicit public

[Anduin Withers]

Submitted largely so people can look it over and make me not commit it.

This patch adds a new --enable-symbol-visibility switch to configure which turns on use_hidesyms which selectively turns on -fvisibility=hidden (currently selectively because only libmyth and libmythtv are close to done, external libs will never be done).

Objectives:

Smaller symbol tables An explicit API

Deficiencies:

Only the symbols I absolutely needed plus reasonable guesses are here (basically most of the stuff that would be exposed through mythtv/ includes). If you use this patch and find some I missed let me know.

First of n patches to get explicit symbol visibility in myth (for use with newer gcc).

If you do not enable it, this should only make you rebuild everything. To enable it you must run configure with --enable-symbol-visibility.

This commit introduces the new mythpluginapi.h. The purpose of this header is to provide prototypes for the plugin entry points (previously every plugin prototyped them). Existing plugins should include this file (I'll be updating them soon).

If you enable this, expect to find symbols I've somehow missed, report them.

Why? Cleaner, smaller, tables. Everyone likes clean tables.

Don't export a few things that are now only referenced inside libmythui, adds libmythui to those supporting --enable-symbol-visibility.

Fix build when --enable-symbol-visibility is used.

[Stuart Auchterlonie]

We've done lots of symbol visibility fixes. We can deal with any new ones on a case by case basis.
