gstreamer-full: Fix linking under Windows

This PR is to allow building gstreamer-full under Windows. There are three concurrent issues:

  • the visibility macros don't recognise (officially) that Clang also support the visibility attribute
  • the way in which gst_init_static_plugins is called implies ELF's way of symbol exporting, where functions are usually never hidden
  • using link_whole has an undocumented side effect on Windows particularly; Win32 PE does not reexport symbols when linking into a shared library, unless they're manually marked as EXPORTS through a module definition file.

I've added more complete explanations in the individual commits.
