    x11/libwacom: work around lld 13 no longer supporting symver tricks
    
    Though x11/libwacom was not yet built during the exp-run for clang/llvm
    13 (see bug 258209), due to some other dependencies not being available
    yet, I noticed that it failed to build with clang 13, or more
    specifically this is due to a behavior change in lld 13:
    
      ...

    Unfortunately the meson build process doesn't really show you why it
    failed, but it turns out that running the 'generate-hwdb' command
    segfaults:
    
      Starting program: /wrkdirs/share/dim/ports/x11/libwacom/work/libwacom-1.5/_build/generate-hwdb

    What happens is that an internal function 'libwacom_match_new' is
    supposed to be called, which returns a new 'WacomMatch' object. But
    instead, it calls a empty stub which returns NULL, resulting in this
    segfault. The empty stub was added as a rather nasty upstream hack to
    "Alias the accidentally exposed ABI into different functions", in
    https://github.com/linuxwacom/libwacom/commit/b9961dbe912fa096230460b194eebdc8a590d256:
    
    > A special "trick" is used here to hide the ABI from new versions:
    > Usually when defining multiple versioned symbols, one would define one as the
    > default one with @@
    >     .symver _foo1,foo@VERSION1
    >     .symver _foo2,foo@@version2 <-- default one
    
    > By leaving out the default one, ld doesn't know which one to link to and
    > fails with an unresolved symbol. rtld however can still figure it out, so

    Unfortunately this trick/hack does not work anymore with lld 13, since
    https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/66d44304921, ("[ELF] Combine
    foo@v1 and foo with the same versionId if both are defined "). The idea
    behind the hack is to have the linker call the 'real' libwacom_match_new
    function whenever it is called from inside the library itself, but any
    external callers get the stubbed version which doesn't really do
    anything.
    
    I think libwacom should have used a different approach here, but just
    renaming those accidentally exposed internal functions to something
    different. Then the tricks with .symver are completely unnecessary. Here
    I added a patch that is as simple as possible, which adds #defines for
    two affected functions in libwacomint.h, renaming then from
    'libwacom_xxx' to 'libwacom_internal_xxx'. This does not affect the
    corresponding exposed functions in the libwacom.so, and makes the
    'generate-hwdb' command work OK again. I also ran the complete libwacom
    test suite, including the deprecated functions test, and it works fine.
