Make IPC_MESSAGE_EXPORT more robust.

Currently, files that want to export ipc messages currently do

  #undef IPC_MESSAGE_EXPORT
  #define IPC_MESSAGE_EXPORT  CONTENT_EXPORT

at the top, and files that don't want to export ipc messages just do nothing. This is problematic if a cc file does

  #include "exported_messages.h"
  #include "not_exported_messages.h"

because the second header file picks up the #define from the first file and declares all its messages as exported. In other translation units, where not_exported_messages.h is #included without another header above it, the messages will get default visibility – so the same class ends up with different visibilities in different translation units.

Instead, let ipc_message_macros.h #undef IPC_MESSAGE_EXPORT outside of the include guard, so that all files that don't set the define see it as defined to nothing. (Idea from jam@)

Also disable about:ipc in the component build, since ipc logging adds a dependency from chrome on all ipc message classes, so they would all have to be exported.

BUG=90078
TEST=No linker errors about IPC messages when doing components build on mac. (Other linker errors remain for now.)
