SplFixedArray is Aggregate, not Iterable

One strange feature of SplFixedArray was that it could not be used in nested foreach
loops. If one did so, the inner loop would overwrite the iteration state of the outer
loop.

To illustrate:

$spl = SplFixedArray::fromArray([0, 1]);
foreach ($spl as $a) {
foreach ($spl as $b) {
echo "$a $b";
}
}

Would only print two lines:

0 0
0 1

Use the new InternalIterator feature which was introduced in ff19ec2df3 to convert
SplFixedArray to an Aggregate rather than Iterable. As a bonus, we get to trim down
some ugly code! Yay!

Allow array_diff() and array_intersect() with single array argument

Both of these functions are well-defined when used with a single
array argument -- rejecting this case was an artificial limitation.
This is not useful when called with explicit arguments, but removes
edge-cases when used with argument unpacking:

// OK even if $excludes is empty.
array_diff($array, ...$excludes);

// OK even if $arrays contains a single array only.
array_intersect(...$arrays);

This matches the behavior of functions like array_merge() and
array_push(), which also allow calls with no array or a single
array respectively.

Drop support for crypt() without explicit salt

crypt() without salt generates a weak $1$ MD5 hash. It has been
throwing a notice since 2013 and we provide a much better alternative
in password_hash() (which can auto-generate salts for strong
password hashes), so keeping this is just a liability.

Update NEWS, UPGRADING

Fix #55847: DOTNET .NET 4.0 GAC new location

If we do not specify the exact version of the .NET framework to use,
the default CLR is loaded, which is typically CLR 2, which is very old.

Fix #55847: DOTNET .NET 4.0 GAC new location

If we do not specify the exact version of the .NET framework to use,
the default CLR is loaded, which is typically CLR 2, which is very old.
Therefore, we introduce a `PHP_INI_SYSTEM` setting, which allows users
to choose the desired .NET framework version. The value of the setting
are the first three parts of the framework's version number, separated
by dots, and prefixed with "v", e.g. "v4.0.30319". If the value of the
INI setting is `NULL` (the default) or an empty string, the default CLR
is used.

Internally, we switch from the most generic `CoCreateInstance()` to
`CorBindToRuntime()` which is implemented in mscoree.dll. To avoid the
hard dependency to that library, we load dynamically.

So this fix is supposed to be fully backwards compatible.

Deprecate libxml_disable_entity_loader()

This method was used to protect code against XXE processing attacks.
Since PHP now requires libxml >= 2.9.0 external entity loading no longer
needs to be disabled to prevent these attacks. It is disabled by default.
Also, the method has an unwanted side effect that causes a lot of
confusion: Parsing XML data from resources like files is no longer possible.
