* [3.9] bpo-41100: Support macOS 11 and Apple Silicon (GH-22855)
Co-authored-by: Lawrence D’Anna <lawrence_danna@apple.com>
* Add support for macOS 11 and Apple Silicon (aka arm64)
As a side effect of this work use the system copy of libffi on macOS, and remove the vendored copy
* Support building on recent versions of macOS while deploying to older versions
This allows building installers on macOS 11 while still supporting macOS 10.9..
(cherry picked from commit 41761933c1)

* Back port of changes to _decimal to support arm64
* temp_dir is in test.support in 3.9
If ctypes fails to convert the result of a callback or if a ctypes
callback function raises an exception, sys.unraisablehook is now
called with an exception set. Previously, the error was logged into
stderr by PyErr_Print().

ctypes now raises an ArgumentError when a callback
is invoked with more than 1024 arguments.
The ctypes module allocates arguments on the stack in
ctypes_callproc() using alloca(), which is problematic
when large numbers of arguments are passed. Instead
of a stack overflow, this commit raises an ArgumentError
if more than 1024 parameters are passed.

Although the underlying libffi issue remains open, adding these
checks have caused problems in third-party projects which are in
widespread use. See the issue for examples.
The corresponding tests have also been skipped.
Fix a ctypes regression of Python 3.8. When a ctypes.Structure is
passed by copy to a function, ctypes internals created a temporary
object which had the side effect of calling the structure finalizer
(__del__) twice. The Python semantics requires a finalizer to be
called exactly once. Fix ctypes internals to no longer call the
finalizer twice.
Create a new internal StructParam_Type which is only used by
_ctypes_callproc() to call PyMem_Free(ptr) on Py_DECREF(argument).
StructUnionType_paramfunc() creates such object.
The final addition (cur += step) may overflow, so use size_t for "cur".
"cur" is always positive (even for negative steps), so it is safe to use
size_t here.
