Static-Linking dependencies to curl I noticed that curl re-exports those other symbols, which is unexpected.

@bagder bagder added the build label Nov 30, 2017
Absent any 'symbol map' or script to limit what gets exported, static
linking of libraries previously resulted in a libcurl with curl's and
those other symbols being (re-)exported.

This did not happen if 'versioned symbols' were enabled (which is not
the default) because then a version script is employed.

This limits exports to everything starting in 'curl_*'., which is
what "libcurl.vers" exports.

This avoids strange side-effects such as with mixing methods
from system libraries and those erroneously offered by libcurl.

Rebased, improved the commit message. Code didn't change. This is the only and last commit in this PR.
