list() with keys (no foreach or tests)
This means we no longer allocate an unused VAR for the retval of
instructions that support unused results.
Nearly all instructions already used the result variable only if
it was used. The only exception to this was the return value
variable for internal function call results. I've adjusted the code
to use a stack zval for the unused return case now. As we have
retval specialization now, we know that it doesn't matter.
This opcodes inserts a local CV into the closure static variable
table. This replaces the previous mechanism of having static
variables marked as LEXICAL, which perform a symtable lookup
during copying.
This means a) functions which contain closures no longer have to
rebuild their symtable (better performance) and b) we can now track
used variables in SSA.
