Split attribute visibility
* c_function_attributes: remove 'protected' from 'visibility'
This doesn't exist on macos with the apple compiler, which always causes
failures.
Fixes #5530
* compilers: Add split visibility checks to has_function_attribute
These check for a single visibility at a time, rather than all four at
once. This allows for finer grained searches, and should make using
these checks safer across operating systems.
