  [CMake] Hide Objective-C and Objective-C++ symbols by default on Cocoa
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325732

Reviewed by Zak Ridouh.

Xcode hides symbols by default in every language (GCC_SYMBOLS_PRIVATE_EXTERN),
but CMake did so only for C and C++, and hid inline functions only in C++. So
every inline function and template instantiation an Objective-C++ file emitted
was an exported weak definition. Align to Xcode's configuration.

One caveat: WebKit keeps default visibility because TestIPC imports
WebKit's IPC serialization code. In Xcode, we build a separate
WebKitPlatform static library to work around this; we'll have to take a
similar approach for CMake.

Also enable dead-stripping in WebKit's Debug builds, matching the
definition of DEAD_CODE_STRIPPING in Xcode. This drops the precompiled
headers' copies of inline functions which call the now-hidden WTF and
WebCore functions.
