This method was used to protect code against XXE processing attacks.
Since PHP now requires libxml >= 2.9.0 external entity loading no longer
needs to be disabled to prevent these attacks. It is disabled by default.
Also, the method has an unwanted side effect that causes a lot of
confusion: Parsing XML data from resources like files is no longer possible.
Closes GH-5867.
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.
