Resolves part of #14802.

It was only a matter of time, but I decided to fork the libffi upstream and write my own CMakeLists.txt. It only handles x64 MSVC, but we could easily extend it to support ARM64 in the near future. Note that the Windows CI already uses libffi since there are interpreter tests and stdlib tests running with the interpreter.

If we are confident that it works then we should later transfer ownership of the fork to crystal-lang (I will continue to maintain it).

question: Why not put the repo directly into crystal-lang org?

I always thought this was restricted to admins but apparently it isn't so?

I think you should be able to create repositories in crystal-lang org. If not, someone else can take care of it.
There shouldn't be any beaurocratic limitation here.
