* 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.
It is possible to use either '-isysroot /some/path' (with a space) or
'-isysroot/some/path' (no space in between). Support both forms in
places where special handling of -isysroot is done, rather than just
the first form.

When compiling 3rd party C extensions, the linker flags used by the
compiler for the interpreter and the stdlib modules, will get
leaked into distutils. In order to avoid that, the PY_CORE_LDFLAGS
and PY_LDFLAGS_NODIST are introduced to keep those flags separated.
1. ppc arch detection for extension module builds broke with Xcode 5
2. ppc arch detection in configure did not work on OS X 10.4
3. -sysroot and -arch flags were unnecessarily duplicated
4. there was no obvious way to configure an intel-32 only build.
tailoring for universal builds by factoring out common OS X-specific
customizations from sysconfig, distutils.sysconfig, distutils.util,
and distutils.unixccompiler into a new module _osx_support that can
eventually also be used by packaging.
