[Twisted-Python] pywin32 -> cffi update and feedback request

[Oliver Palmer]

So 0.1.2 is out and I've uploaded a patch set for review to #7889 which
replaces win32api.FormatMessage and removes the dependency on pywin32 in
twisted.python.lockfile (though it looks like we can do without needing to
call on pywincffi in this case).

Unfortunately, my update was spam filtered with a 57.36% probability of
being spam. I'm human, I promise.
