RFC: decorate all functions in src/platform.c with PARROT_EXPORT

Description

I propose that we add PARROT_EXPORT to all functions in src/platform.c (i.e. all functions in all files used to generate src/platform.c). This is necessary so that users of libparrot, in this case dynpmcs, can access platform-specific functions. The problem that brought this up was that the OS pmc couldn't access Parrot_get_user_id, but I can imagine this cropping up in other places too.

I've created a gci task for this and rfw plans to work on it, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything before I merge into master.

cotto,

There's no evidence that this was worked on during GCI. How shall we proceed?

Thank you very much.

Others are free to work on it as tuits and/or the need arise. I don't think it's urgent, but if it suddenly becomes important it shouldn't be more than about a hour of work.
