`.gitmodules` references non-existent `libffi` branch

[adrian-niculescu]

The libffi submodule in .gitmodules tracks branch darind/v8-ios, which no longer exists on https://github.com/NativeScript/libffi (see branches).

This causes git submodule update --init --recursive --remote to fail with:

fatal: Unable to find refs/remotes/origin/darind/v8-ios revision in submodule path 'libffi'

The branch reference should be updated to whichever branch is current (master?).

Hello, I'm not sure what you mean, that branch definitely exists:

https://github.com/NativeScript/libffi/branches/all
https://github.com/NativeScript/libffi/tree/darind/v8-ios

Sorry about this! We were seeing fatal: Unable to find refs/remotes/origin/darind/v8-ios revision in submodule path 'libffi' in our CI, and this glitch manifested multiple times. When I went to look at the branches on NativeScript/libffi, the default view doesn't show darind/v8-ios — which confirmed my (already biased) theory that the branch was gone. I should have checked the "All" view.

The issue turned out to be on our end. Apologies for wasting your time!
