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.

do it once and remember the result from the first one. drops overhead
for sure by a chunk i actually could see in perf reports like about 1-2%
of cpu...
this makes efl ignore certain env vars for thnigs and entirely removes
user modules (that no one ever used) etc. etc. to ensure that *IF* an
app is setuid, there isn't a priv escalation path that is easy.
Now we always build the following memory pools statically:
- pass_through: calls malloc/free directly, useful to debug.
- chained_pool: default for ages.
- one_big: used by some embedded systems (should we remove?)
Removed:
- ememoa_fixed and ememoa_unknown: depends on a separate lib, not supported?
- buddy: nobody uses it?
NOTE: we do not need the src/modules/eina/mp/*/Makefile.am anymore
since they are statically built. But I'll keep these and the
references in src/modules/eina/mp/Makefile.am
