Doc Text Feature: Provide a reliable location for libffi's self-modifying code

Reason: Due to security restrictions, libffi may need to map a file that it can both write to and execute, but those same security restrictions may remove all available file system locations from consideration.

Result: libffi can now take advantage of a feature in the RHEL 8 kernel to create a suitable file independent of any filesystem, without compromising security.
