Add hidden visibility to internal function prototypes
breaks the build of the testsuite for many platforms:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-testresults/2017-q3/msg00300.html
The errors are of the following form, building math/atest-exp:
[...]
/scratch/jmyers/glibc-bot/build/glibcs/aarch64-linux-gnu/glibc/stdlib/rshift.o: In function `__mpn_rshift':
/scratch/jmyers/glibc-bot/build/glibcs/aarch64-linux-gnu/glibc-src/stdlib/rshift.c:45: undefined reference to `__assert_fail'

/scratch/jmyers/glibc-bot/install/compilers/aarch64-linux-gnu/lib/gcc/aarch64-glibc-linux-gnu/7.2.1/../../../../aarch64-glibc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
This test is using various objects from the build of libc. Some of
those objects contain references to __assert_fail. Because those
references are hidden, they cannot refer to __assert_fail from
libc.so. Given the tests using internal objects those symbols in
libc.a can't safely be made hidden, so this patch reverts the problem
commit until any alternative approach that doesn't break the build can
be found.
