Implement iteration cache, item cache and length cache for node list iteration (#11330)

* Implement iteration cache, item cache and length cache for node list iteration

The current implementation follows the spec requirement that the list
must be "live". This means that changes in the document must be
reflected in the existing node lists without requiring the user to
refetch the node list.
The consequence is that getting any item, or the length of the list,
always starts searching from the root element of the node list. This
results in O(n) time to get any item or the length. If there's a for
loop over the node list, this means the iterations will take O(n²) time
in total. This causes real-world performance issues with potential for
downtime (see GH-11308 and its references for details).

We fix this by introducing a caching strategy. We cache the last
iterated object in the iterator, the last requested item in the node
list, and the last length computation. To invalidate the cache, we
simply count the number of modifications made to the containing
document. If the modification number does not match what the number was
during caching, we know the document has been modified and the cache is
invalid. If this ever overflows, we saturate the modification number and
don't do any caching anymore. Note that we don't check for overflow on
64-bit systems because it would take hundreds of years to overflow.

Fixes GH-11308.

Implement dom_get_doc_props_read_only()

I was surprised to see that getting the stricterror property showed in
in the Callgrind profile of some tests. Turns out we sometimes allocate
them. Fix this by returning the default in case no changes were made yet.

Shrink some commonly used structs by reordering members (#10880)

Struct members require some alignment based on their type. This means
that if a struct member is not aligned, there will be a hole created by
the compiler in the struct, which is wasted space. This patch reorders
some of the most commonly used structs, but in such a way that the
fields which were in the same cache line still belong together.
The only exception to this is exception_ignore_args, which was
temporally not close to nearby members, and as such I placed
it further up to close a hole.

On 64-bit Linux this gives us the following shrinks:
* zend_op_array: 248 -> 240
* zend_ssa_var: 56 -> 48
* zend_ssa_var_info: 48 -> 40
* php_core_globals: 672 -> 608
* zend_executor_globals: 1824 -> 1792

On 32-bit, the sizes will either remain the same or will result in
smaller shrinks.

Implement GH-9826: Make class_alias() work with internal classes (#10483)

We can't increase the refcount of internal classes during request time.
To work around this problem we simply don't refcount aliases anymore and
add a check in the destruction to skip aliases entirely.
There were also some checks which checked for an alias implicitly by
comparing the refcount, these have been replaced by checking the type of
the zval instead.

These are mandatory in C99, so it's a pointless waste of time to check

(Actually, the fixed-size integer types are not mandatory, but if they
are really not available on some theoretical system, PHP's fallbacks
won't work either, so nothing is gained from this check.)
