In some non-Cargo build configurations, the Rust and C++ side of cxx
bindings may end up in different binaries. In some environments,
this requires symbols to be explicitly exported using
__declspec(dllexport) or similar directives. A previous change added
the --cxx-impl-annotations switch on the cxx-gen command line tool,
providing the opportunity to specify such directives for dynamically
generated parts of the cxx bindings.

It turns out to be similarly useful to export symbols from cxx.cc.
This change adds a pair of preprocessor symbols which folks can define
if they need to export these symbols too.

This is a version of
dtolnay/cxx#1025
backported to the version of cxx which we currently use,
plus associated GN changes to trigger that behavior.

Purpose of this change:
The Rust cxx interop tool produces both Rust and C++ side code for its
bindings. It also has fixed C++ code for some of its interop types (e.g.
the C++ representation of a Rust string). In most cases, all of this
ends up in the same binary, but in debug component builds a test
executable may have Rust code which needs to use thse symbols from (for
instance) libbase.so. We already previously exported the symbols for
dynamically generated bindings code; we now export the symbols for the
fixed C++ code too.

The patch within this change should be removed if/when
dtolnay/cxx#1025
is accepted upstream and we have rolled cxx to include it.
