symtable_cache_ptr now points to the first unused symtable_cache
entry, rahter than the last used one. This avoids taking a pointer
to the minus first element of the array, which is UB. Instead we
take a pointer to the end plus one, which is not UB.

And convert some object to string conversion related recoverable
fatal errors into Error exceptions.
Improve exception safety of internal code performing string
conversions.
Ensure that the "creating default object from empty value" warning is
always thrown. Previously some cases were missing the warning, in
particular those going through FETCH_OBJ_W rather than a dedicated
opcode (like ASSIGN_OBJ).
One slightly unfortunate side-effect of this change is that something
like $a->b->c = 'd' will now generate two warnings rather than one
when $a is null (one for property b, one for property c).
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.
