* Add length parameter to PyLineTable_InitAddressRange and doen't use sentinel values at end of table. Makes the line number table more robust.
* Update PyCodeAddressRange to match PEP 626.
This approach ensures the code matches the interpreter version.
Previously, PYTHON_FOR_REGEN was used to generate the code, which might
be wrong. The marshal format for code objects has changed with
bpo-42246, commit 877df851. Update the code and the expected code sizes
in ctypes test_frozentable.
From the commit message:
> When the structure is packed we should always expand when needed,
> otherwise we will add some padding between the fields. This patch makes
> sure we always merge bitfields together. It also changes the field merging
> algorithm so that it handles bitfields correctly.

* 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.
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.
Break cycle generated when saving an exception in socket.py, codeop.py and dyld.py as they keep alive not only the exception but user objects through the ``__traceback__`` attribute.

Capturing exceptions into names can lead to reference cycles though the __traceback__ attribute of the exceptions in some obscure cases that have been reported previously and fixed individually. As these variables are not used anyway, we can remove the binding to reduce the chances of creating reference cycles.
See for example GH-13135
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.

This test case needs "signed short" bitfields, but the
IBM XLC compiler (on AIX) does not support this.
Skip the code and test when AIX and XLC are used.
Use __xlc__ as identifier to detect the XLC compiler.
Raise ValueError OverflowError in case of a negative
_length_ in a ctypes.Array subclass. Also raise TypeError
instead of AttributeError for non-integer _length_.
