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.

The patch will need to be updated to just completely remove the --with(out)-system-ffi check everywhere but OSX.  It will also need to make some changes after the latest patch in #27976.

https://docs.python.org/3/license.html#libffi may need a change, too.
