This reverts commit bb43a3822e.
After thinking about this a bit more, this is now going to be
a complete solution for the "readonly properties" case, for example:
unset($foo->readOnly->bar);
should also be legal and
$foo->readOnly['bar'] = 42;
should also be legal if $foo->readOnly is not an array but an
ArrayAccess object.
I think it may be better to distinguish better on the BP_VAR flag
level. Reverting for now.
$a->b->c = 'd';
is now compiled the same way as
$b = $a->b;
$b->c = 'd';
That is, we perform a read fetch on $a->b, rather than a write
fetch.
This is possible, because PHP 8 removed auto-vivification support
for objects, so $a->b->c = 'd' may no longer modify $a->b proper
(i.e. not counting interior mutability of the object).
Closes GH-5250.
This removes object auto-vivification support.
This also means that we can remove the corresponding special
handling for typed properites: We no longer need to check that a
property is convertible to stdClass if such a conversion might
take place indirectly due to a nested property write.
Additionally OBJ_W style operations now no longer modify the
object operand, and as such we no longer need to treat op1 as a
def in SSA form.
The next step would be to actually compile the whole LHS of OBJ_W
operations in R rather than W mode, but that causes issues with
SimpleXML, whose object handlers depend on the current compilation
structure.

No notice is thrown for list() accesses, because we did not come
to an agreement regarding patterns like
while ([$key, $value] = yield $it->next()) { ... }
where silent null access may be desirable.
No effort is made to suppress multiple notices in access chains
likes $x[0][0][0], because the technical complexity this causes
does not seem worthwhile.

This patch adds missing newlines, trims multiple redundant final
newlines into a single one, and trims redundant leading newlines in all
*.phpt sections.
According to POSIX, a line is a sequence of zero or more non-' <newline>'
characters plus a terminating '<newline>' character. [1] Files should
normally have at least one final newline character.
C89 [2] and later standards [3] mention a final newline:
"A source file that is not empty shall end in a new-line character,
which shall not be immediately preceded by a backslash character."
Although it is not mandatory for all files to have a final newline
fixed, a more consistent and homogeneous approach brings less of commit
differences issues and a better development experience in certain text
editors and IDEs.

is pretty non-intuitive. If the same value was 1 or true you get a warning and it halts.
Since we can't break BC completely (yet) lets bump this from E_STRICT.
Also added a new section to UPGRADING for engine changes.
