Description
### Description
Add an `MBEDTLS_NOEXPORT` sort of mechanism that both check-names.sh and the linker should understand to exclude third party symbols from the library.

Research direction
The issue names check-names.sh and the linker as the entry points, and links to a discussion in pull request 2073. First determine how third-party symbols are currently identified and exported in those paths; done means a documented MBEDTLS_NOEXPORT-style mechanism is understood by both and excludes the intended symbols from the library.
