Update libffi-tarballs to latest libffi

libffi 3.0.14 contains fixes necessary for successful iOS (and probably ARM in general) cross-compilation.

I've created a new archive that can be dropped in to replace the current libffi-tarballs archive here: https://github.com/ghc-ios/libffi-tarballs/blob/master/libffi-3.0.14.tar.gz?raw=true

Why isn't there an official libffi-3.0.14.tar.gz at https://sourceware.org/libffi/?

closed

Sorry, the filename was poorly chosen; this is a tar.gz of libffi HEAD https://github.com/atgreen/libffi. But it actually doesn't include all the arm patches we need yet anyway :/. I'll close this until we can get a working official release.

According to the History at https://github.com/atgreen/libffi AArch64 (ARM) support was added in libffi 3.1

3.1 May-19-14
        Add AArch64 (ARM64) iOS support.
        Add Nios II support.
        Add m88k and DEC VAX support.
	Add support for stdcall, thiscall, and fastcall on non-Windows
	  32-bit x86 targets such as Linux.
	Various Android, MIPS N32, x86, FreeBSD and UltraSPARC IIi
	  fixes.
	Make the testsuite more robust: eliminate several spurious
	  failures, and respect the $CC and $CXX environment variables.
	Archive off the manually maintained ChangeLog in favor of git
	  log.

The original libffi patch that is part of the libffi-3.0.14.tar.gz as mentioned above ended up in two pull requests:

• https://github.com/atgreen/libffi/pull/19
• https://github.com/atgreen/libffi/pull/60

of which non was finally merged. Both seem dead by now, but as mentioned above in libffi 3.1, iOS support was added.
