python37, python2: remove win64 workaround to fix aarch64-darwin
The issue manifests itself as the following on `aarch64-darwin`:

```
>>> import ctypes
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/nix/store/i8cq0xrjirz1rcp65wzcyhj6ypzlw9il-python3-3.7.10/lib/python3.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 551, in <module>
    _reset_cache()
  File "/nix/store/i8cq0xrjirz1rcp65wzcyhj6ypzlw9il-python3-3.7.10/lib/python3.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 273, in _reset_cache
    CFUNCTYPE(c_int)(lambda: None)
MemoryError
```

The commit we backport is included in Python 3.8, and it reverts
the change that was introduced all the way back in Python 2.7.
