build: Split GOA symbols out into a separate symbols file
On some systems (Mac OS X) it is an error to include symbols in the symbols file which are not exported from the library. This can happen if building with --disable-goa (or --disable-gnome). Fix this by generating the symbols file dynamically. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754821

If this isn't possible, the deprecated function should be split into a static function which contains all the code, and the public symbol should
become a simple wrapper of this static function. This allows the static function to be used inside libgdata without causing deprecation warnings.
