  Use libffi-clib
  
  Previously, we would build libffi via hadrian
  and bundle it manually with the GHC bindist.
  
  This now moves all that logic out of hadrian
  and allows us to have a clean Haskell package
  to build and link against and ship it without
  extra logic.
  
  This patch still retains the ability to link
  against a system libffi.
  
  The main reason of bundling libffi was that on
  some platforms (e.g. FreeBSD and Mac), system libffi
  is not visible to the C toolchain by default,
  so users would require settings in e.g. cabal
  to be able to compile anything.

  hadrian: Use a response file to invoke GHC for dep gathering.
  
  In some cases we construct an argument list too long for GHC to
  handle directly on windows. This happens when we generate
  the dependency file because the command line will contain
  references to a large number of .hs files.
  
  To avoid this we now invoke GHC using a response file when
  generating dependencies to sidestep length limitations.
  
  Note that we only pass the actual file names in the dependency
  file. Why? Because this side-steps #26560

  Build external interpreter program on demand (#24731)
  
  This patch teaches GHC how to build the external interpreter program
  when it is missing. As long as we have the `ghci` library, doing this is
  trivial so most of this patch is refactoring for doing it sanely.

  Mark T26410_ffi as fragile on Windows
  
  As seen in #26595, this test intermittently fails on Windows.
  This commit marks it as fragile, until we get around to fixing it.
