nix: Hide pipewire lazy trampolines in libwebrtc when linking as SO (#50743)

Jakub Konka created 

This would cause a null pointer dereference when trying to open an audio
device in Zed. More context:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/478907/changes#r2885943326

Release Notes:

- Fixed crash when trying to join a channel/test audio on Nix-built Zed
on Linux.
