I'm inclined to suggest we drop the symbols files for the Cura-related
lib packages altogether, for the following reasons:

- They've caused us grief on practically every gcc updgrade
- They require finetuning on every architecture separately
- They're hard to sanitize and update automatically
- They provide very little benefit, because there are no known consumers
outside Cura, and we pin the package versions closely together anyway
- We've had at least one incompatible change in libArcus where the
SOVERSION wasn't incremented (courtesy of myself, my bad - but nobody
else bothered either)

I know this is not the "right" way to do it, the benefits of dropping
outweigh the downsides by far.

polyclipping may or may not be a candidate. I think there are other
consumers, so there is a benefit for a symbols file.
