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.)

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.
The internal function `_readline_command_generator()` modifies the
internal array pointer of `readline_completion_function()`'s return
value. We therefore separate the array, what also avoids failing
assertions regarding the array refcount.

This testing mode executes the test multiple times in the same
process (but in different requests). It is primarily intended to
catch tracing JIT bugs, but also catches state leaks across
requests.
Closes GH-6365.
`php -a` treats lines starting with `#` as comments when deciding if
the provided statement is valid.
So it passed `#[MyAttr]` to the parser after the user hits enter,
causing a syntax error for multi-line statements..
With this patch, the following snippet is parsed correctly
```
php > #[Attr]
php > function x() { }
php > var_export((new ReflectionFunction('x'))->getAttributes()[0]->getName());
'Attr'
```
Followup to GH-6085
Closes GH-6086
PHP treats `#ini_setting=value` as a call to
`ini_set('ini_setting', 'value')`,
and silently skips undeclared settings.
This is a problem due to `#[` becoming supported attribute syntax:
- `#[Attr] const X = 123;` (this is not a valid place to put an attribute)
This does not create a constant.
- `#[Attr] function test($x=false){}` also contains `=`.
This does not create a function.
Instead, only treat lines starting with `#` as a special case
when the next character isn't `[`
Closes GH-6085
Currently, it's possible to override `php -a`s completion
functionality to provide an alternative to the C implementation,
with `readline_completion_function()`.
However, that surprisingly gets overridden when called from
`auto_prepend_file`, because those scripts get run before the interactive shell
is started. I believe that not overriding it would be more consistent
with what happens when you override the completion function **after** the
interactive shell.
CLI is the only built-in API that uses this (See discussion in GH-5872).
I believe MINIT and RINIT will only run once when invoked with `php -a`.
Add documentation about the architecture of how php uses readline/libedit

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.

As of PHP 7.3.0, the rules regarding the heredoc and nowdoc closing
identifier have been relaxed. While formerly, the closing identifier
was required to be placed at the beginning of a line and to be
immediately followed by (a semicolon and) a line break, it may now be
preceeded by whitespace, and may be followed by any non-word character.
We adjust the recognition logic respectively.
