Pull request description:

  Darwin targets do not have a `protected` visibility function attribute, see [LLVM explanation](8e9a505139/clang/lib/Basic/Targets/OSTargets.h (L131)). This means that the `AX_GCC_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE` check for `visibility` fails:
  ```bash
  configure:24513: checking for __attribute__((visibility))
  configure:24537: g++ -std=c++11 -o conftest -g -O2  -DHAVE_BUILD_INFO -D__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS -DMAC_OSX -DOBJC_OLD_DISPATCH_PROTOTYPES=0  -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names conftest.cpp  >&5
  conftest.cpp:35:56: warning: target does not support 'protected' visibility; using 'default' [-Wunsupported-visibility]
                      int foo_pro( void ) __attribute__((visibility("protected")));
                                                         ^
  1 warning generated.
  configure:24537: $? = 0
  configure:24550: result: no
  ```

  This leads to `EXPORT_SYMBOL` being [defined to nothing](f4de89edfa/src/script/bitcoinconsensus.h (L29)), as `HAVE_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE_VISIBILITY` is not defined, and when building with reduced exports, you end up with a libbitcoinconsensus.dylib that doesn't export any  `_bitcoinconsensus_*` symbols.
  ```bash
  ➜  git:(master) nm -C src/.libs/libbitcoinconsensus.dylib | rg _bitcoinconsensus_
  ➜  git:(master)
  ```

  We do have a [second check](f4de89edfa/configure.ac (L882)) for the `visibility` attribute, which works for Darwin as it's only testing for default visibility, however the result of this check isn't used at all. It was added in #4725, along with the `--enable-reduce-exports` option, however when libbitcoinconsensus was added in #5235, it used the results of the added `AX_GCC_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE` calls.

  This PR removes our usage of the AX_GCC_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE macro entirely, in favour of our own checks in configure. This meant adding a check for `dllexport`, which I've tested as working with both [GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Microsoft-Windows-Function-Attributes.html) and [Clang](https://releases.llvm.org/10.0.0/tools/clang/docs/AttributeReference.html#dllexport) when building for Windows. I haven't added an equivalent check for `dllimport`, as we weren't actually using the result of that check, we're just testing that `MSC_VER` was defined before using.

  With these changes building a libbitcoinconsensus with reduced exports, when targeting Darwin, works as expected:
  ```bash
  ./autogen.sh
  ./configure --disable-tests --disable-bench --with-utils=no --with-daemon=no --with-gui=no --disable-wallet --with-libs=yes --enable-reduce-exports
  make -j8
  ...
  nm -C src/.libs/libbitcoinconsensus.dylib | rg _bitcoinconsensus_
  000000000000a340 T _bitcoinconsensus_verify_script
  00000000000097e0 T _bitcoinconsensus_verify_script_with_amount
  000000000000a3c0 T _bitcoinconsensus_version
  ```

  ```python
  >>> import ctypes
  >>> consensus = ctypes.CDLL("src/.libs/libbitcoinconsensus.dylib")
  >>> print(consensus.bitcoinconsensus_version())
  1
  >>> exit()
  ```

  TODO: Modify a CI job to compile with --enable-reduce-exports and check for symbols in shared lib?

Further information about Dash Core is available in the doc folder.

What is Dash?

Dash is an experimental digital currency that enables instant, private payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Dash uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Dash Core is the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information read the original Dash whitepaper.

License

Dash Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is meant to be stable. Development is normally done in separate branches. Tags are created to indicate new official, stable release versions of Dash Core.

The develop branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Dash Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
