Add ZVAL_CHAR/RETVAL_CHAR/RETURN_CHAR as a shortcut for using
ZVAL_INTERNED_STRING and ZSTR_CHAR.
Add zend_string_init_fast() as a helper for the empty string /
one char interned string / zend_string_init() pattern.
Also add corresponding ZVAL_STRINGL_FAST etc macros.
Closes GH-5684.
This makes the zend_error_cb API simpler, and avoid formatting
the same message in multiple places.
It should be noted that the passed zend_string is always
non-persistent, so if you want to store it persistently somewhere,
you may still need to duplicate it.
The last_error_message is cleared a bit more aggressive, to make
sure it doesn't hang around across allocator life-cycles.
Closes GH-5639.
Treatment of locales in PHP is currently inconsistent: The LC_ALL
locale is set to "C", as is standard behavior on program startup.
The LC_CTYPE locale is set to "", which will inherit it from the
environment. However, the inherited LC_CTYPE locale will only be
used in some cases, while in other cases it is necessary to perform
an explicit setlocale() call in PHP first. This is the case for
the locale-sensitive handling in the PCRE extension.
Make things consistent by *never* inheriting any locales from the
environment. LC_ALL, including LC_CTYPE will be "C" on startup.
A locale can be set or inherited through an explicit setlocale()
call, at which point the behavior will be fully consistent and
predictable.

If @generate-function-entries is specified in the stub file,
also generate function entries for the extension.
Currently limited to free functions only.
This assumes that `iterator_*` will now always throw or abort on failure.
Also, move #include _arginfo.h directive to the top of the file - virtually all
other files put it there, and developers may base code on basic_functions.c.
Closes GH-4968
The fdiv() function is part of the fmod() / intdiv() family. It
implements a floating-point division with IEEE-754 semantics.
That is, division by zero is considered well-defined and does not
trigger any kind of diagnostic. Instead one of INF, -INF or NAN
will be returned, depending on the case.
This is in preparation for throwing DivisionByZeroError from the
standard division operator.
