Disable use of the system ffi gem

Stan Hu requested to merge sh-disable-system-ffi-gem into master

What does this MR do?

Prior to !6777 (merged), the ffi development headers were not present in the ruby_docker image. The ffi gem will use the system ffi if ffi.h is in the include path. This causes issues as different operating systems include different versions of libffi. Disabling the use of the system ffi gem will cause the ffi gem to statically build its own version, which what was done before.
