  Add porting test for embed.pl visibility

The array '@unresolved_visibility_overrides' in regen/embed.pl is
supposed to contain pre-existing symbols that we haven't resolved the
final status of yet.  When that is done, the symbols in it should be
removed and placed depending on their resolution,

Newly created symbols should have their final disposition known, so
shouldn't go into this array.  This test is a quick and dirty check that
new symbols aren't getting wrongly added.
