This patch removes the so called local variables defined per
file basis for certain editors to properly show tab width, and
similar settings. These are mainly used by Vim and Emacs editors
yet with recent changes the once working definitions don't work
anymore in Vim without custom plugins or additional configuration.
Neither are these settings synced across the PHP code base.
A simpler and better approach is EditorConfig and fixing code
using some code style fixing tools in the future instead.
This patch also removes the so called modelines for Vim. Modelines
allow Vim editor specifically to set some editor configuration such as
syntax highlighting, indentation style and tab width to be set in the
first line or the last 5 lines per file basis. Since the php test
files have syntax highlighting already set in most editors properly and
EditorConfig takes care of the indentation settings, this patch removes
these as well for the Vim 6.0 and newer versions.
With the removal of local variables for certain editors such as
Emacs and Vim, the footer is also probably not needed anymore when
creating extensions using ext_skel.php script.
Additionally, Vim modelines for setting php syntax and some editor
settings has been removed from some *.phpt files. All these are
mostly not relevant for phpt files neither work properly in the
middle of the file.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/null_coalesce_equal_operator
$a ??= $b is $a ?? ($a = $b), with the difference that $a is only
evaluated once, to the degree that this is possible. In particular
in $a[foo()] ?? $b function foo() is only ever called once.
However, the variable access themselves will be reevaluated.

Don't automatically convert literal string keys to integers on
array access, as we may be dealing with an ArrayAccess object,
rather than a plain array.
This fixes the behavior when the storage location of the fetch is
modified before the operand is dereferenced by the using VM opcode.
Furthermore it elimiates references as a possible return value from
*_R opcodes, which will give us more opportunities for inferences,
in particular in regard to typed properties.
The negative range inference implementation does not work correctly,
and it's not clear right now how it can be fixed. As such, disable
it entirely for now.
