Implement #51368: php_filter_float does not allow custom thousand separators

A set of hard-coded thousand separator characters (presently, `',.`) is
somewhat limited (users may prefer other separators, such as spaces or
underscores), as well as somewhat too liberal (arbitrary combinations
of different thousand separators are presently possible). Therefore we
introduce a `thousand` option analogous to `decimal`, which allows to
define the desired thousand separators as non-empty string, defaulting
to `',.`. While we easily could support empty strings here as well,
that would not make much sense, since this behavior can more easily be
accomplished by not setting the `FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_THOUSAND` flag in
the first place.

Revert "Add possibility to lower timer resolution"

This reverts commit c3717d9aecbe65cb2e5778a24a91e9eaf638639e.

The final mitigation of the consequences with spectre should be
discussed more also with the regard to the happenings on the
developments. Right now a preliminary mitigation might be wrong or
suboptimal, thus reverting this.

Add possibility to lower timer resolution

The recently discovered security flaw Spectre requires a high resolution
timer. To the today's knowledge, PHP can't be used to create an attack for
this flaw. Still some concerns were raised, that there might be impact in
shared hosting environments. This patch adds a possibility to reduce the
timer resolution by an ini setting, thus giving administrators full
control. Especially, as the flaw was also demonstrated by an abuse of
the JS engine in a browser, Firefox reduced several time sources to 20us.
Any programming language, that doesn't compile to JIT, won't be able to
produce an attack vector for Meltdown and Spectre, at least by todays
knowledge. There are also other factors that say that the security
concern on the hrtime feature is to the big part not justified, still we
aim JIT in the future. Thus, adding a possibility to control the timer
resolution is a good and small enough tradeoff for safety and future.

Add _IS_NUMBER as cast_object() target type

convert_scalar_to_number() will now call cast_object() with an
_IS_NUMBER argument, in which case the cast handler should return
either an integer or floating point number, whichever is more
appropriate.

Previously convert_scalar_to_number() unconditionally converted
objects to integers instead.

Add gmp_kronecker()

Exposes the mpz_kronecker(), mpz_si_kronecker() and
mpz_kronecher_si() for computing the Kronecker symbol.

Add gmp_perfect_power()

Exposes the mpz_perfect_power_p() function.

We already had the more specific gmp_perfect_square() function.

We already expose the somewhat complementary gmp_gcd() function.

binomial coefficients.
