Further fix to visibility flag testing with Solaris Studio compilers.

AC_COMPILE_IFELSE only tries to compile a `*.c' to a `*.o'.  The
Solaris Studio 12.1 through 12.5 compilers see the
`-fvisibility=hidden' flag, but ignore it with a warning of:

  cc: Warning: Option -fvisibility=hidden passed to ld,
               if ld is invoked, ignored otherwise

AC_LINK_IFELSE does the compile and then tries to link the result,
at which point the Solaris linker will issue an error:

  ld: fatal: option '-fvisibility=hidden' is incompatible with
      building a dynamic executable

If we don't use AC_LINK_IFELSE to catch the error, then configure
will fail further tests which attempt to link, such as those testing
dependencies like `libbz2'.

Also, don't try adding `-fvisibility' if we have already added
`-xldscope', just use one of them, since Sun Studio 12 and earlier
compilers only issue a warning, and don't try passing through to the
linker to generate an error, so AC_LINK_IFELSE doesn't catch them.

Tested on Solaris 11.4 beta with compiler versions:

  Sun Studio 8 (Sun C 5.5)
  Sun Studio 10 (Sun C 5.7)
  Sun Studio 11 (Sun C 5.8)
  Sun Studio 12 (Sun C 5.9)
  Sun Studio 12.1 (Sun C 5.10)
  Oracle Solaris Studio 12.2 (Sun C 5.11)
  Oracle Solaris Studio 12.3 (Sun C 5.12)
  Oracle Solaris Studio 12.4 (Sun C 5.13)
  Oracle Developer Studio 12.5 (Sun C 5.14)
  Oracle Developer Studio 12.6 (Sun C 5.15)
  gcc 5.5.0
  gcc 7.3.0

and verified the libfreetype.so.6 generated by each of those
compilers exported the same set of symbols.

* builds/unix/configure.raw: Implement it.
