Store the zend_string instead of performing a copy and storing
in a zval. Also make sure the string is released immediately if
it's no longer needed. Finally, avoid null pointer offset UB if
no string has been set -- though I'm wondering if this case
shouldn't be generating a warning?
From an engine perspective, named parameters mainly add three
concepts:
* The SEND_* opcodes now accept a CONST op2, which is the
argument name. For now, it is looked up by linear scan and
runtime cached.
* This may leave UNDEF arguments on the stack. To avoid having
to deal with them in other places, a CHECK_UNDEF_ARGS opcode
is used to either replace them with defaults, or error.
* For variadic functions, EX(extra_named_params) are collected
and need to be freed based on ZEND_CALL_HAS_EXTRA_NAMED_PARAMS.

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.
Closes GH-5488.
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
