[PATCH] D23552: [ELF] - Give automatically generated __start_* and __stop_* symbols default visibility.

The argument for making them hidden in https://reviews.llvm.org/D19024 is pretty reasonable. But I think it is also reasonable to be compatible if real code relies on this behavior.

Considering how difficult it can be to debug the type of issues that occur due to our incompatible behavior (e.g. kernel does not boot), it is not a good experience for a user of LLD.
