Visual Studio Builds: Don't Generate a .def File

Clutter, like GTK+ and GLib, has recently switched to a visibility-based method of exporting symbols, so update the Visual Studio build files to do likewise, by using __declspec (dllexport). This eliminats the need to use a .def file to export the symbols. The pre-configured config.h.win32.in is also updated accordingly for this purpose. The clutter.symbols file can be dropped if it is not being used otherwise.
