Summary:
Patch from a series of patches to rename EAPI symbols to specific
library DSOs.
EAPI was designed to be able to pass
`__attribute__ ((visibility ("default")))` for symbols with
GCC, which would mean that even if -fvisibility=hidden was used
when compiling the library, the needed symbols would get exported.
MSVC __almost__ works like GCC (or mingw) in which you can
declare everything as export and it will just work (slower, but
it will work). But there's a caveat: global variables will not
work the same way for MSVC, but works for mingw and GCC.
For global variables (as opposed to functions), MSVC requires
correct DSO visibility for MSVC: instead of declaring a symbol as
export for everything, you need to declare it as import when
importing from another DSO and export when defining it locally.
With current EAPI definitions, we get the following example
working in mingw and MSVC (observe it doesn't define any global
variables as exported symbols).
Example 1:
dll1:
```
EAPI void foo(void);
EAPI void bar()
{
foo();
}
```
dll2:
```
EAPI void foo()
{
printf ("foo\n");
}
```
This works fine with API defined as __declspec(dllexport) in both
cases and for gcc defining as
`__atttribute__((visibility("default")))`.
However, the following:
Example 2:
dll1:
```
EAPI extern int foo;
EAPI void foobar(void);
EAPI void bar()
{
foo = 5;
foobar();
}
```
dll2:
```
EAPI int foo = 0;
EAPI void foobar()
{
printf ("foo %d\n", foo);
}
```
This will work on mingw but will not work for MSVC. And that's why
EAPI is the only solution that worked for MSVC.

This is for consistency with the new eolian_class_c_macro_get
as well as for better clarity, as c_name_get is already provided
by Object and refers to something else.
Summary:
This also simplifies the beta checking API by unifying it under
objects (makes much more sense that way) and reworks the validator
to have betaness support within its context state, allowing checks
to be done easily in any place.
The betaness checks are disabled for types for the time being,
because otherwise there are too many errors (types are assumed
to be stable as they are not tagged beta, but they reference beta
classes all over the place). Set EOLIAN_TYPEDECL_BETA_WARN to 1
in your environment to force enable the checks.

This information has been stored and used in Eolian until now
but not exposed to the API user. While there are roundabout ways
to retrieve the class for an event, this one is direct and costs
us nothing.
Set the EOLIAN_EVENT_NO_TYPE_WARN environment variable to enable
those warnings during Eolian usage. They will be considered a part
of the validation then.
Use the void type for events to suppress the warning.
Now all error/unknown/etc values returned from APIs are zero,
previously it was a mix of zeroes and minus ones. Also, some
enums that had no error/invalid value before have one now, which
allows for better distinction between what is an error and what
is an intended result.
Previously events used to use class name as a prefix and ignored eo_prefix
when specified. This is no longer the case. Events follow eo_prefix by default
now. In order to get around this for classes where this is undesirable, a new
field event_prefix was added which takes priority over eo_prefix. If neither
is specified, class name is used like previously.
@feature
This adds new APIs that deal with the new documentation syntax
provided by Eolian. The old doc comment APIs are considered
deprecated from now on and will be removed.
