Nikita Popov de80e3ce4b Remove reference restrictions from foreach

foreach only allowed variables to be traversed by reference. This never
really made sense because

    a) Expressions like array(&$a, &$b) can be meaningfully iterated by-ref
    b) Function calls can return by-ref (so they can also be meaningfully
       iterated)
    c) Iterators could at least in theory also be iterated by-ref (not
       sure if any iterator makes use of this)

With by-ref generators the restriction makes even less sense, so I removed
it altogether.
