Shoaib Meenai bda3c7df78 [libc++] Make _LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS export members
Summary:
Most classes annotated with _LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS need to have at least some
of their members exported, otherwise we have a lot of link errors when
linking against a libc++ built with hidden visibility. This also makes
_LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS be consistent across platforms, since on Windows it
already exports members.

With this change made, any template methods of a class marked
_LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS will also get default visibility when instantiatied,
which is not desirable for clients of libc++ headers who wish to control
their visibility; this is the same issue as PR30642. Annotate all
problematic methods with an explicit visibility specifier to avoid this.

The problematic methods were found by running bad-visibility-finder [1]
against the libc++ headers after making the _LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS change. The
small methods were marked for inlining; the larger ones hidden.

libc++ Documentation
====================

The libc++ documentation is written using the Sphinx documentation generator. It is
currently tested with Sphinx 1.1.3.

To build the documents into html configure libc++ with the following cmake options:

  * -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=ON
  * -DLIBCXX_INCLUDE_DOCS=ON

After configuring libc++ with these options the make rule `docs-libcxx-html`
should be available.
