[New-bugs-announce] [issue27979] Remove bundled libffi

[Zachary Ware]

New submission from Zachary Ware:

The attached patch allows the bundled libffi used in non-Darwin POSIX builds (Modules/_ctypes/libffi, along with Modules/_ctypes/libffi.diff) to be removed.  It depends on the patch in #27976, and does not affect OSX or Windows.
