dev-libs/libffi-compat: new package, provides libffi.so.6

There are still a few binary-only packages out there that rely on
'libffi.so.6' presence. This package provides these libraries.
No development headers here. Thus this library can co-exist with
dev-libs/libffi:0/7 package.

Ebuild is based on dev-libs/libffi. We can fast-stabilize it if
in-tree stable packages do rely on libffi.so.6 (they should not).

The patch is almost entirely by Timo Rothenpieler.
I renamed a package and made a few minor tweaks.

+ia64: fix small struct handling (missing complex type entry)
+
+commit 6e8a4460833594d5af1b4539178025da0077df19
+added FFI_TYPE_COMPLEX value type (comes after FFI_TYPE_POINTER)
+
+ia64 ffi_closure_unix reiles on the ordering of
+types as ia64 has ia64-specific FFI types:
+small struct and others.
+
+As a result all tests handling small structs broke.
+
+The change fixes dispatch table by ignoring FFI_TYPE_COMPLEX.
+This has positive effect of unbreaking most tests:

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ia64: fix small struct return
+
+This change fixes libffi.call/struct10.c failure on ia64:
+FAIL: libffi.call/struct10.c -W -Wall -Wno-psabi -O0 execution test
+
+.Lst_small_struct handles returns for structs less than 32 bytes
+(following ia64 return value ABI [1]). Subroutine does roughly the
+following:
+
+```
+    mov [sp+0]  = r8
+    mov [sp+8]  = r9
+    mov [sp+16] = r10
+    mov [sp+24] = r11
+    memcpy(destination, source=sp, 12);
+```
+
+The problem: ia64 ABI guarantees that top 16 bytes of stack are
+scratch space for callee function. Thus it can clobber it. [1]
+says (7.1 Procedure Frames):
+"""
+* Scratch area. This 16-byte region is provided as scratch storage
+  for procedures that are called by the current procedure. Leaf
+  procedures do not need to allocate this region. A procedure may
+  use the 16 bytes at the top of its own frame as scratch memory,
+  but the contents of this area are not preserved by a procedure call.
+"""
+
+In our case 16 top bytes are clobbered by a PLT resolver when memcpy()
+is called for the first time. As a result memcpy implementation reads
+already clobbered data frop top of stack.
+
+The fix is simple: allocate 16 bytes of scrats space prior to memcpy()
+call.

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix usage on musl libc
+
+A gcc compiled on musl does not define __gnu_linux__, it defines __linux__.
+Only on glibc does __gnu_linux__ get defined, but both define __linux__, so
+we should check for that instead.
+
+With this patch, libffi works perfectly, and passes its testsuite entirely
+on musl libc systems.

+		Compilers for high level languages generate code that follow certain
+		conventions. These conventions are necessary, in part, for separate
+		compilation to work. One such convention is the "calling
+		convention". The "calling convention" is essentially a set of
+		assumptions made by the compiler about where function arguments will
+		be found on entry to a function. A "calling convention" also specifies
+		where the return value for a function is found.
+
+		Some programs may not know at the time of compilation what arguments
+		are to be passed to a function. For instance, an interpreter may be
+		told at run-time about the number and types of arguments used to call
+		a given function. Libffi can be used in such programs to provide a
+		bridge from the interpreter program to compiled code.
+
+		The libffi library provides a portable, high level programming
+		interface to various calling conventions. This allows a programmer to
+		call any function specified by a call interface description at run
+		time.
+
+		Ffi stands for Foreign Function Interface. A foreign function
+		interface is the popular name for the interface that allows code
+		written in one language to call code written in another language. The
+		libffi library really only provides the lowest, machine dependent
+		layer of a fully featured foreign function interface. A layer must
+		exist above libffi that handles type conversions for values passed
+		between the two languages.
