python311Packages.cffi: patch failing test

[voidus]

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
nix build nixpkgs#python311Packages.cffi

Build log

https://gist.github.com/voidus/90ea9dbfb3cbf08c026d866ca6acb8c8

Additional context

I debugged the issue and fixed the test, but upstream gitlab is down: https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy/cffi
Not sure how to best proceed, we could keep this open, I can submit it upstream in the next days and then remove the patch maybe?

Description of changes

Added a patch to fix the failing tests

Things done

• Built on platform(s)
  • x86_64-linux
  • aarch64-linux
  • x86_64-darwin
  • aarch64-darwin
• For non-Linux: Is sandbox = true set in nix.conf? (See Nix manual)
• Tested, as applicable:
  • NixOS test(s) (look inside nixos/tests)
  • and/or package tests
  • or, for functions and "core" functionality, tests in lib/tests or pkgs/test
  • made sure NixOS tests are linked to the relevant packages
• Tested compilation of all packages that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review rev HEAD". Note: all changes have to be committed, also see nixpkgs-review usage
  • I didn't do that because a) no idea how to find the presumably huge number of affected packages and b) it doesn't build at all right now
• Tested basic functionality of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
• 22.11 Release Notes (or backporting 22.05 Release notes)
  • (Package updates) Added a release notes entry if the change is major or breaking
  • (Module updates) Added a release notes entry if the change is significant
  • (Module addition) Added a release notes entry if adding a new NixOS module
  • (Release notes changes) Ran nixos/doc/manual/md-to-db.sh to update generated release notes
• Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

[voidus]

We could also unconditionally include the patch, because the test suite already detects the python version, but I like that it's obvious from the nix code what the patch is supposed to affect

Pushed again with a better commit message

Upstream issue: https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy/cffi/-/issues/551

[voidus]

Upstream already has another patch for this, I'll update this to pull that one.
