Port parameter defs

Has one bug re \self

Moar removal

Remove more dead code

Remove dead code

Store (bad) estimate of lineno with ast

Currently not used yet

Implemented builtin instruction for strlen()

Port echo

Simplify call-frame handling

Refactored parameter passing mechanism.

In PHP-5.6 and below each argument passed to user function was copies on VM stack twice.
Now we always have ZEND_INIT_FCALL (or simular) opcode that pushes "call frame" on top of VM stack.
"Call frame" is actually the same zend_execute_data structure.
All the following ZEND_SEND instructions push arguments on top of the stack in a way that they directly comes into corresponding CV variables of the called frame. Extra arguments are copied at the end of stack frame (after all CV and TMP variables) on function enterance.

There are two minor incompatibilities:
1) It's not allowed to decalre functions redefining arguments e.g. "function foo($a,$a) {}".
2) func_get_arg() and func_get args() return the current value of argument and not the original value that was sent.

Some refactoring of fn/const resolution

Drop dead code

Implement constant expression folding as a separate pass

Support string interpolation

Remove dead code

AST stage 2.4

Add ability to specify additional attr in AST

Make ast->children a uint

Future optimization: only use uint for dynamic lists and use a
uchar or even an introspection function to get the child count.

Remove dead code

AST stage 1.9

Expressions (mostly) use the AST

AST-based compiler: Stage 1

LTR static member access

Change precedence of $ operator

$$foo['bar'] is now interpreted as ${$foo}['bar'] rather than
${$foo['bar']}.
