configure: add linker export script support on Darwin
This isn't a "version script" in the usual sense, since it doesn't set symbol versions directly. Instead, the version for the whole .dylib is set in the linker flags, and we generate a list of symbol patterns to export. This allows us to keep our local symbols (e.g. ff_*) local on the platform. The Darwin linker's exported_symbols_list format is a bit different than the one used by the GNU linker. It doesn't handle local symbols at all, since when a list is provided, all unlisted symbols are local by default; thus, we remove local sections. It doesn't handle per-version sections, so we remove the headers and brackets. It expects symbols to be prefixed with an underscore. It errors if a listed symbol with no wildcards is not present in the output, so we append an asterisk to any symbol that doesn't already end in one.
