Android binaries were relying on -Wl,--exclude-libs=ALL to prevent
unnecessary symbols from being exported in the final shared libraries
built in Chromium, however several changes were submitted that actually
disabled this linker flag in virtually all binaries, and thus it was not
really being used and many symbols were exported by mistake.

Remove --exclude-libs=ALL entirely from the Android build, as well as
all the places which were previously having to unset it, and instead
exclude the specific libraries which incorporate visible symbols that we
don't want: the NDK libraries which we statically link into the binary,
and a number of components of chromium which contain assembly code which
has not yet been fixed to set symbol visibilities correctly.

This reduces the number of exported symbols in the shared libraries to
only the ones we intended to export, which saves ~120KB binary size.

The GN build does not build the same set of things as static libraries,
so the list is slightly different there and several more symbols are
left in the final binaries which shouldn't be there, but are not pulled
in via a static library and so no --exclude-libs flag will ever fix it;
the symbol visibilities will need to be fixed at source.
