In OpenMP target offloading an in other offloading languages, we
maintain a difference between device functions and kernel functions.
Kernel functions must be visible to the host and act as the entry point
to the target device. Device functions however cannot be called directly
by the host and must be called by a kernel function. Currently, we make
all definitions on the device protected by default. Because device
functions cannot be called or used by the host they should have hidden
visibility. This allows for the definitions to be better optimized via
LTO or other passes.
This patch marks every device function in the AST as having `hidden`
visibility. The kernel function is generated later at code-gen and we
set its visibility explicitly so it should not be affected. This
prevents the user from overriding the visibility, but since the user
can't do anything with these symbols anyway there is no point exporting
them right now.

This patch changes the special-case handling of visibility when
compiling for an OpenMP target offloading device. This was orignally
added as a precaution against the bug encountered in PR41826 when
symbols in the device were being preempted by shared library symbols.
This should instead be done by making the visibility protected by default.
With protected visibility we are asserting that the symbols on the device
will never be preempted or preempt another symbol pending a shared library
load.
