Fixed bug #30961 (Wrong linenumber in ReflectionClass getStartLine())

Thought I committed it ages ago... Anyway, without further delays, the final
__halt_compiler() patch

Added array type hinting. (This patch requires full re-make)

- Cleanup foreach handling

foreash($a as $key => $val) optimization
Removed temorary array creation on each iteration.

- Remove part of the cleanup which causes a problem with unnormal code
like tests/lang/040.phpt
# However there is a memleak introduced somewhen after august 04 for such
# code now, 5.0

# code now, 5.0 and 4.3 are fine though.

- Cleanup foreach statement

- Commit the variable fetch optimization.
- Extensions which delete global variables need to use new special function
- delete_global_variable() (I'm about to rename it) to remove them.

- Remove all for now
# - the optimization part can be done in apc or compareable products
# - NULL can be reintroduced later when needed

Revert goto opcode

Add goto operator by popular request.

- Speed up by making null/false/true reserved word which allows to drop
an opcode (FETCH_CONSTANT) for every usage.

- Fix bug #27283 - Exceptions where the last catch() statement was sometimes
- skipped.

check writability on =& too

Clearify the different method/class flags (as discussed with Andi).

Fix __METHOD__ (noticed by Davey Sahfik)

- Improve precendence:

<?php

$obj->foo = "Blah";

if (!$obj instanceof StdClass) {
print "No";
} else {
print "Yes";
}

- Decrease precedence of instanceof so that the following is true:
php -r 'var_export((object)1 instanceof stdClass);';

Reinstate early-binding for classes.

Note that this is available for downwards compatibility only - and it doesn't
work if you use new features (namely, interfaces). Generally, people should
declare their classes before using them, but we just didn't want hell to break
loose (c)

Rewrote exception support. Fixes a few limitations and bugs in the old
implementation, and allows exceptions to 'fire' much earlier than before.

Instructions on how to use the new mechanism will follow on internals@
shortly...

Note - this (most probably) breaks the current implementation of

Redesign the clone() feature to fix some fundamental flaws in the previous
implementation.

Using clone directly is now done using
$replica = clone $src;

Clone methods must now be declared as follows:
function __clone($that)
{
}

Clone methods in derived classes can call the __clone method of their parent
classes using parent::__clone($that)

- Re-allow conditional class declerations. Needless to say that I also
- think it's not great coding.. Use polymorphism instead :)
