gmodule: Add the visibility attribute to G_MODULE_EXPORT on gcc

For versions of GCC which support it (≥ 4), define G_MODULE_EXPORT as
__attribute__((visibility("default"))). This is normally a no-op, unless
compiling with -fvisibility=hidden, in which case it marks a symbol to
be publicly exported from the library, which is what G_MODULE_EXPORT is
for. Previously G_MODULE_EXPORT has only worked on Windows.

The compatibility check for whether the compiler supports
__attribute__((visibility)) is based on the __GNUC__ define, and is
similar to the check done in configure.ac for defining G_GNUC_INTERNAL.
