We should probably add a comment on test_pass_by_value linking to GH-103438 and noting that it's possible the user is using an older libffi if the test is failing.

We also need a news entry documenting this change.

"And older libffi" is also the version included with macOS (the current SDK headers claim to be 3.4rc1). If I understand correctly unconditionally removing this workaround would therefore break macOS builds that use the system libffi, including our own installers.
