Eric Fiselier f8f31c4985 [libc++] Add _LIBCPP_EXTERN_TEMPLATE_INLINE_VISIBILITY to support GCC ABI compatibility
Summary:
GCC and Clang handle visibility attributes on the out-of-line definition of externally instantiated templates differently. For example in the reproducer below Clang will emit both 'foo' and 'bar' with default visibility while GCC only emits a non-hidden 'foo'.  

```
// RUN: g++ -std=c++11 -shared -O3 test.cpp && sym_extract.py a.out
// RUN: clang++ -std=c++11 -shared -O3 test.cpp && sym_extract.py a.out
#define INLINE_VISIBILITY __attribute__((visibility("hidden"), always_inline))

template <class T>
struct Foo {
  void foo();
  void bar();
};

template <class T>
void Foo<T>::foo() {}

template <class T>
inline INLINE_VISIBILITY
void Foo<T>::bar() {}

template struct Foo<int>;
```

This difference creates ABI incompatibilities between Clang and GCC built dylibs. Specifically GCC built dylibs lack definitions for various member functions of `basic_string`, `basic_istream`, `basic_ostream`, `basic_iostream`, and `basic_streambuf` (All of these types are externally instantiated). 

Surprisingly these missing symbols don't cause many problems because the functions are marked `always_inline`  therefore the dylib definition is rarely needed. However when an out-of-line definition is required then GCC built dylibs will fail to link. For example [GCC built dylibs cannot build Clang](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39454262/clang-build-errors).

This patch works around this issue by adding `_LIBCPP_EXTERN_TEMPLATE_INLINE_VISIBILITY` which is used to mark externally instantiated member functions as always inline. When building the library `_LIBCPP_EXTERN_TEMPLATE_INLINE_VISIBILITY` sets the symbol's visibility to "default" instead of "hidden", otherwise it acts exactly the same as `_LIBCPP_INLINE_VISIBILITY`.

After applying this patch GCC dylibs now contain:
