[Dune] C++ visibility

[Oliver Sander]

The visibility stuff has been in gcc for quite a while.
To me, library load times and sizes never seemed to be a
problem in Dune.  Better optimization is of course always
welcome, however I find it difficult from the description
to estimate the actual impact on code such as ours.
How would a decent benchmark look, and could that
be done with reasonable effort?
