Add RTC_EXPORT_TEMPLATE_{DECLARE,DEFINE} macros.

This CL adds macros to correctly export template instantiation
declarations and definitions. These macros have been borrowed from
Chromium's //base/export_template.h [1] and are supposed to be used
together with RTC_EXPORT [2].

The goal is to start using explicit template instatiation declarations
(introduced in C++11) [3] and remove workarounds that are not compatible
with all the compilers. An example can be found in [4], where in order
to workaround crbug.com/1018579, another workaround was almost created
before being stopped at code review time.

WebRTC is a free, open software project that provides browsers and mobile applications with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple APIs. The WebRTC components have been optimized to best serve this purpose.

Our mission: To enable rich, high-quality RTC applications to be developed for the browser, mobile platforms, and IoT devices, and allow them all to communicate via a common set of protocols.

The WebRTC initiative is a project supported by Google, Mozilla and Opera, amongst others.

Development

See http://www.webrtc.org/native-code/development for instructions on how to get started developing with the native code.

Authoritative list of directories that contain the native API header files.
