Subject: [PATCH] Fix crash in is_cfi=true builds with unbundled ICU
Ensure ICU symbols have public visibility and are thus excluded from CFI
checks and whole-program optimization. The former caused a startup crash
and the latter has the potential to break virtual calls in weird ways.

+ # U_EXPORT (defined in unicode/platform.h) is used to set public visibility

+ # When linking against the system ICU library, we want its symbols to have
+ # public LTO visibility. This disables CFI checks for the ICU classes and
+ # allows whole-program optimization to be applied to the rest of Chromium.
+ #
+ # Both U_COMMON_API and U_I18N_API macros would be defined to U_EXPORT only
+ # when U_COMBINED_IMPLEMENTATION is defined (see unicode/utypes.h). Because
+ # we override the default system UCHAR_TYPE (char16_t), it is not possible
+ # to use U_COMBINED_IMPLEMENTATION at this moment, meaning the U_COMMON_API
+ # and U_I18N_API macros are set to U_IMPORT which is an empty definition.
+ #
+ # Until building with UCHAR_TYPE=char16_t is supported, one way to apply
+ # public visibility (and thus public LTO visibility) to all ICU classes is
+ # to define U_IMPORT to have the same value as U_EXPORT. For more details,
