libffi 3.4.3 may break Platypus on Linux ARM64

[plicease]

Doing a share install of Alien::FFI with this version of libffi seemed to cause some of the tests to fail. I am pretty sure that I had previously installed with the system libffi, which definitely does work, so I am not sure if older versions of libffi also break Platypus. This version seems to work just fine on macOS ARM64.

@plicease FYI, this does not seem to be specific to Platypus: https://bugs.debian.org/1021735

@AdrianBunk thanks, I think the right thing to do is block share installs of 3.4.3 in Alien::FFI for Linux+Arm64, and hope the next version fixes this. https://github.com/PerlFFI/Alien-FFI/pull/29

I've released a version of Alien::FFI 0.26 which will block 3.4.3. I will leave this ticket open for now and we can close it if this is resolved in the new version of libffi, or if we can patch it.

Appears to be fixed in libffi 3.4.4.
