We only want to control the default visibility for our five main
installable libraries: libglib, libgthread, libgmodule, libgobject,
libgio. We should therefore only set -fvisibility=hidden when building
those.
Use a separate substitution variable for this purpose.
Using CFLAGS directly leads to some modules built in testcases not
exporting their symbols (and then the tests fail). It also affects the
fam file monitoring module.
Colin had originally done it this way in his visibility patch series but
I failed to understand why so I didn't copy it. Now I do.
Also: revert changes made to two testcases in an attempt to work around
this issue.

One of our testcases builds a small giomodule for testing the loading of
modules containing resources. Unfortunately, this module gets built
using the same CFLAGS as the rest of GLib, including the visibility
flags (defaulting to hidden).
Use "config.h" to get a declaration of _GLIB_EXTERN that will export
symbols properly and use it to annotate the necessary APIs.
