[libc++] Make _LIBCPP_EXTERN_TEMPLATE_TYPE_VIS export members
When building libc++ with hidden visibility, we want explicit template
instantiations to export members. This is consistent with existing
Windows behavior, and is necessary for clients to be able to link
against a hidden visibility built libc++ without running into lots of
missing symbols.
An unfortunate side effect, however, is that any template methods of a
class with an explicit instantiation will get default visibility when
instantiated, unless the methods are explicitly marked inline or hidden
visibility. This is not desirable for clients of libc++ headers who wish
to control their visibility, and led to PR30642.
Annotate all problematic methods with an explicit visibility specifier
to avoid this. The problematic methods were found by running
https://github.com/smeenai/bad-visibility-finder against the libc++
headers after making the _LIBCPP_EXTERN_TEMPLATE_TYPE_VIS change. The
methods were marked with the new _LIBCPP_METHOD_TEMPLATE_IMPLICIT_INSTANTIATION_VIS
macro, which was created for this purpose.
It should be noted that _LIBCPP_EXTERN_TEMPLATE_TYPE_VIS was originally
intended to expand to default visibility, and was changed to expanding
to default type visibility to fix PR30642. The visibility macro
documentation was not updated accordingly, however, so this change makes
the macro consistent with its documentation again, while explicitly
fixing the methods which resulted in that PR.
