[Distutils] cffi & Py_LIMITED_API

[Daniel Holth]

The next version of cffi will contain small changes to generate code
compliant with Python's Py_LIMITED_API:
https://bitbucket.org/cffi/cffi/commits/8f867f5a869f

(although cffi itself is not, the extensions it generates will be).

If we also add an appropriate supported tag to pip ~= cp3.abi3.manylinux1
and provide a way to name the generated DLL's appropriately, it may become
possible to reduce the burden of distributing cffi extensions, especially
for Windows. One compiled artifact should work on Python 3.2 and above.
