[C++] Allow using symbol visibility annotations also on non-Windows platforms

In GCC and clang the symbol visibility behavior of MSVC can be mirror using `-fvisibility=hidden`.
This allows to more easily test that symbol visbility annotations work correctly and can potentially lead to smaller binaries.
The default behavior on non-Windows platforms is not changed with this commit.

See also https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility

Also fixes a tiny mistake where the _WIN32 macro was used to silence a MSVC warning where the _MSC_VER macro should have been used instead.
