Add `rtc_enable_symbol_export` to incrementally create a WebRTC component.

In order to implement a WebRTC component in Chromium, WebRTC needs to
export some symbols.

If RTC_EXPORT relies on COMPONENT_BUILD to mark symbols as exported
or imported, it will not be possible to incrementally add RTC_EXPORT
because the Chromium build will break (two Chromium components that
export a symbol or no component that exports it).

By using `rtc_enable_symbol_export` (which makes GN define
WEBRTC_ENABLE_SYMBOL_EXPORT), WebRTC will be able to incrementally mark
symbols with RTC_EXPORT and flip the value of `rtc_enable_symbol_export`
in the Chromium build when everything will be ready.

WebRTC is a free, open software project that provides browsers and mobile applications with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple APIs. The WebRTC components have been optimized to best serve this purpose.

Our mission: To enable rich, high-quality RTC applications to be developed for the browser, mobile platforms, and IoT devices, and allow them all to communicate via a common set of protocols.

The WebRTC initiative is a project supported by Google, Mozilla and Opera, amongst others.

Development

See http://www.webrtc.org/native-code/development for instructions on how to get started developing with the native code.
