This is an attempt to remove unluckily exported symbols from icedtea-web plugin.
However I do not know which symbols can be hidden and which can not. So this patch is removing the 
two originally reported.

If to much symbols will have to be marked or to much should remains unmarked, then I will probably 
use blacklist/whitelist for this  de-exporting.

this should go to 1.3 as well.

	Removing plugin's redundant exported symbols
	* plugin/icedteanp/IcedTeaNPPlugin.h: (plugin_debug_suspend) marked as
	hidden for export
