Since as of Python 3.7+ using system ffi is now mandatory (and so the default) on Linux:
https://bugs.python.org/issue27979
python/cpython@f40d4dd

Removing the option resolves this configure warning:

checking for --with-system-ffi... yes
configure: WARNING: --with(out)-system-ffi is ignored on this platform

Closes #715.
