It makes more sense to use a released version for 2013.02 rather than a
git snapshot.
The build system now correctly installs libffi.pc, so we can drop the
manual install.

We already had backported patches for the Blackfin and AArch64
support, and now we would have needed to also backport the Xtensa
support and the Microblaze support. This starts to get crazy.
Let's switch to using a Git version from Github, until libffi finally
releases a new stable version.
In order to achieve this, we also need to:
* autoreconf the package, so that a libffi.pc file gets generated
* manually install the libffi.pc file, because it doesn't get
installed by libffi Makefile, for some reason
* remove the part of the target post install hook that was messing
with libffi.pc, since it was modifying the one in STAGING_DIR
(which is odd for a target post install hook), and the libffi.pc
file is anyway not installed to the target anymore.

libffi is a new requirement for libglib, and as libglib has to be built
for the host as well, libffi has to follow.

Fixes the following error:
Variable 'includedir' not defined in '/home/daniel/buildroot/output/host/usr/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/sysroot/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libffi.pc'
Also, use $(SED) instead of 'sed -i'.

Thanks to the pkgparentdir and pkgname functions, we can rewrite the
AUTOTARGETS macro in a way that avoids the need for each package to
repeat its name and the directory in which it is present.

libffi is needed by the Python interpreter.
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.
