2.10.0: Build downloads libffi instead of using the pre-installed version

[yurivict]

Describe the bug

-- Using src='https://github.com/libffi/libffi/archive/master.zip'
CMake Error at libffi-stamp/download-libffi.cmake:170 (message):
  Each download failed!

Package builders aren't allowed to download files during build, so that there is no internet access.

Why doesn't it use the pre-installed libffi?

Build log.

To Reproduce

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS/Platform: FreeBSD 14.0

Note: A patch has been applied to Dill that may sort this. If we can verify that it works there, we'll pull it in here. (The goal is not to use libffi in the ADIOS build at all.)

dill builds fine on FreeBSD after the latest PRs.
