1676896 - Simplify rnp_symbols.py script dependencies

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Build Config, task)

Description

[Rob Lemley [:rjl]]

rnp_symbols.py has an external dependency on a few Python libraries that are available via PIP, but make the whole process a bit heavy as it's parsing the C header file and looking for functions to export.
The recently introduced RNP_API macro makes it much easier to identify what symbols should be exported from the final shared library. Let's remove the external C-parsing dependencies and stick to standard Python 3.

The recently added RNP_API macro makes it much easier to find the necessary functions to export
with a simple regex.
