Mark publicly exposed functions in src/call/context.c with PARROT_EXPORT tag

Description

Hello.

There is some functions in src/call/context.c which marked as PARROT_EXPORT but shouldn't be exposed as PARROT_API. For example Parrot_pcc_get_context_struct must not be in public API, etc. Functions exposed as public should be marked as PUBLIC_API to avoid and confusion between internals and exposed API for 3rd party developers.

Would this fall under the rubric of the API team's efforts?

The tag PARROT_API is currently only for functions in the embedding API. i've updated the ticket title to reflect that.

Some of the functions in src/call/context.c probably should not be marked PARROT_EXPORT or PARROT_API, since they are internal only. I can imagine some of them might be useful for the extending API, but certainly not for the embedding API. We need to go over the list of functions in that file and make sure they are only as visible as is absolutely necessary.

Can we get an update on the status of the issues discussed in this ticket?

Thank you very much.
