As discussed on irc, if we make it conditional on EAPI then you'll
practically never be able to call EXPORT_FUNCTIONS before inherit
since eclasses generally support multiple EAPIs. So, I've added a
warning message that is triggered when EXPORT_FUNCTIONS is called
before inherit. In a year or two we can consider having the warning
removed.
