This deprecates passing null to non-nullable scale arguments of
internal functions, with the eventual goal of making the behavior
consistent with userland functions, where null is never accepted
for non-nullable arguments.
This change is expected to cause quite a lot of fallout. In most
cases, calling code should be adjusted to avoid passing null. In
some cases, PHP should be adjusted to make some function arguments
nullable. I have already fixed a number of functions before landing
this, but feel free to file a bug if you encounter a function that
doesn't accept null, but probably should. (The rule of thumb for
this to be applicable is that the function must have special behavior
for 0 or "", which is distinct from the natural behavior of the
parameter.)

Closes GH-6475.
We're starting to see a mix between uses of zend_bool and bool.
Replace all usages with the standard bool type everywhere.
Of course, zend_bool is retained as an alias.
Historically, the _ex variants separated the zval first, if a
conversion was necessary. This distinction no longer makes sense
since PHP 7.
The only difference that was still left is that _ex checked whether
the type is the same first, but the usage of these macros did not
actually distinguish on whether such an inlined check is valuable
or not in a given context.
Also drop the unused convert_to_explicit_type macros.
This is an extremely weird function, but the behavior seems to be
intentional, and is quite clearly documented.
So we adjust the stub to also accept false|null as arguments. I
believe the implementation already correctly matches union type
semantics.
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.

We implement support for a fifth parameter, which allows to specify the
mapsize. The parameter defaults to zero, in which case the compiled in
default mapsize (usually 1048576) will be used. The mapsize should be
a multiple of the page size of the OS.

And convert some object to string conversion related recoverable
fatal errors into Error exceptions.
Improve exception safety of internal code performing string
conversions.
Normalization include:
- Use dnl for everything that can be ommitted when configure is built in
favor of the shell comment character # which is visible in the output.
- Line length normalized to 80 columns
- Dots for most of the one line sentences
- Macro definitions include similar pattern header comments now
