Userland classes that implement Traversable must do so either
through Iterator or IteratorAggregate. The same requirement does
not exist for internal classes: They can implement the internal
get_iterator mechanism, without exposing either the Iterator or
IteratorAggregate APIs. This makes them usable in get_iterator(),
but incompatible with any Iterator based APIs.
A lot of internal classes do this, because exposing the userland
APIs is simply a lot of work. This patch alleviates this issue by
providing a generic InternalIterator class, which acts as an
adapater between get_iterator and Iterator, and can be easily
used by many internal classes. At the same time, we extend the
requirement that Traversable implies Iterator or IteratorAggregate
to internal classes as well.
Closes GH-5216.
The hash is used to check whether the arginfo file needs to be
regenerated. PHP-Parser will only be downloaded if this is actually
necessary.
This ensures that release artifacts will never try to regenerate
stubs and thus fetch PHP-Parser, as long as you do not modify any
files.
Closes GH-5739.
Closes GH-5353. From now on, PHP will have reflection information
about default values of parameters of internal functions.

* get_parent_class() argument is optional
* Mark array_filter() $callback as optional
* The $base of gmp_strval() is optional
* DateTime constructor also accepts zero arguments
* hash_update_file() stream context is optional
* xmlwriter_write_dtd_entity() $isparam argument is optional
Signature stubs for internal functions are specified in xyz.stub.php,
from which we generate actual arginfo structures in xyz_arginfo.h.
This file then needs to be included in the implementation appropriately.
Arginfo from stubs can be regenerated using scripts/dev/gen_stub.php.
However, this should also automatically happen when the stub file is
modified.
