* 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.
Adds a simple check for whether or not the package is being installed in the GUI or using installer on the command line. This addresses an issue where CLI-based software management tools (such as Munki) unexpectedly open Finder windows into a GUI session during installation runs.
build-installer now looks in its directory of source tarballs
for a suitable html tarball of the same version. If so, it
will unpack and use it rather than rebuilding the html format
documentation set from the source repo. This is intended as
a speedup for test builds of the installer. Files names must
be in the same format as produced by the docs build for download,
for example, `python-3.9.0b1-docs-html.tar.bz2`.
Reason: the link `ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses//5.9/ncurses-5.9-20120616-patch.sh.bz2` is dead, which prevents `Mac/BuildScript/build-installer.py` from completing. Looks like the host of the FTP server was changed to `ftp.invisible-island.net`, thus this proposal.

Previously, python.org macOS installers did not alter the Current version
symlink in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions when installing
a version of Python 3.x, only when installing 2.x. Now that Python 2 is
retired, it's time to change that. This should make it a bit easier
to embed Python 3 into other macOS applications.
This reverts commit 7cf3d8e251.
Due to regressions found with using Tk 8.6.9.1, build the python.org macOS installers with Tcl/Tk 8.6.8 as used in previous releases.
https://bugs.python.org/issue35402
Currently, "pip3 install --upgrade pip" unconditionally installs a
"pip" alias even for Python 3. If a user has an existing Python 3.x
installed from a python.org macOS installer and then subsequently
manually updates to a new version of pip, there may now be a stray
"pip" alias in the Python 3.x framework bin directory which can cause
confusion if the user has both a Python 2.7 and 3.x installed;
if the Python 3.x fw bin directory appears early on $PATH, "pip"
might invoke the pip3 for the Python 3.x rather than the pip for
Python 2.7. To try to mitigate this, the macOS installer script
for the ensurepip option will unconditionally remove "pip" from
the 3.x framework bin directory being updated / installed. (The
ambiguity can be avoided by using "pythonx.y -m pip".)
Build and link with private copy of Tcl/Tk 8.6 for the macOS 10.6+
installer. The 10.9+ installer variant already does this. This means that
the Python 3.7 provided by the python.org macOS installers no longer need or
use any external versions of Tcl/Tk, either system-provided or user-
installed, such as ActiveTcl.
