Chore(deps): bump cffi from 1.16.0 to 1.17.0

HIFIS Bot requested to merge dependabot-pip-cffi-1.17.0 into main

Bumps cffi from 1.16.0 to 1.17.0.

Release notes

Sourced from cffi's releases.

v1.17.0

  • Add support for Python 3.13.
    • Free-threaded CPython builds (i.e. python3.13t and the 3.13t ABI) are not currently supported.
  • In API mode, when you get a function from a C library by writing fn = lib.myfunc, you get an object of a special type for performance reasons, instead of a <cdata 'C-function-type'>. Before version 1.17 you could only call such objects. You could write ffi.addressof(lib, "myfunc") in order to get a real <cdata> object, based on the idea that in these cases in C you'd usually write &myfunc instead of myfunc. In version 1.17, the special object lib.myfunc can now be passed in many places where CFFI expects a regular <cdata> object. For example, you can now pass it as a callback to a C function call, or write it inside a C structure field of the correct pointer-to-function type, or use ffi.cast() or ffi.typeof() on it.
