Mention the CFFI port to Psycopg2 in documentation.

Browse Source 
The CFFI port works much better on PyPy and has been used in production before.
The documentation mentioned the Ctypes port but not the CFFI port.
I added it to the documentation.

@ -13,12 +13,15 @@ is a C extension and as such it is only compatible with CPython_. If you want
to use Psycopg on a different Python implementation (PyPy, Jython, IronPython)
there is an experimental `porting of Psycopg for Ctypes`__, but it is not as
mature as the C implementation yet.
In addition to that port, there is a `CFFI port of Psycopg`__ which is
faster on PyPy and has seen some success in production environments.
