8241629: [macos10.15] Long startup delay playing media over https on Catalina

[sashamatveev]

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8241629

We used to link with system provided libffi (due to a bug in Makefile) and for some reason GLib signals did not work correctly and thus we did not able to build dynamic pipelines. We did not switch to AVFoundation until timeout is reached while waiting for GStreamer to start playing or report us an error. Fixed by linking GLib with libffi which we build, like we do for other platforms.

Looks good. I tested it on both 10.15.x (Catalina) and 10.13.x (High Sierra). I confirm that there is no more dependency on the system libffi.
