* Fix PART of issue 17192 for 3.4 - reapply the issue11729 patch

that was undone in the merge fun from upstream which already
  had it in 3.0.13.
* Add the missing update to libffi.info.

This initializes CIF according to the given parameters for a call
to a variadic function. In general it's operation is the same as
for `ffi_prep_cif' except that:
NFIXEDARGS is the number of fixed arguments, prior to any variadic
arguments. It must be greater than zero.
NTOTALARGS the total number of arguments, including variadic and
fixed arguments.
Note that, different cif's must be prepped for calls to the same
function when different numbers of arguments are passed.
Also note that a call to `ffi_prep_cif_var' with
NFIXEDARGS=NOTOTALARGS is NOT equivalent to a call to
`ffi_prep_cif'.

AVALUES is a vector of `void *' pointers that point to the memory

that the function has no arguments (i.e., NARGS was 0), then

AVALUES is ignored. Note that argument values may be modified by
the callee (for instance, structs passed by value); the burden of
copying pass-by-value arguments is placed on the caller.
