Today if `libffi` cannot allocate pages of memory which are both writeable and executable then it will attempt to write code to a temporary file. Elasticsearch configures itself a suitable temporary directory for use by JNA but by default `libffi` won't find this directory and will try various other places. In certain configurations, none of the other places that `libffi` tries are suitable. With older versions of JNA this would result in a `SIGSEGV`; since elastic#80617 the JVM will exit with an exception. With this commit we use the `LIBFFI_TMPDIR` environment variable to configure `libffi` to use the same directory as JNA for its temporary files if they are needed.

I guessed at how to backport this since the packaging tests look somewhat different in 7.16, but I didn't guess right it seems. @pugnascotia would you work your magic on the failures here? |

@DaveCTurner I pushed a tweak that I think will fix it. I wonder if makes more sense to use a utility like |
