Initial step towards the ability to reduce c-ares exported symbols

based on the 'visibility' attribute for GNUC and __global for Sun
compilers, taking also in account __declspec function decoration
for Win32 and Symbian DLL's.

Introducing configure options --enable-hidden-symbols and
--disable-hidden-symbols following libcurl's naming.
