Remove reference restrictions from foreach

foreach only allowed variables to be traversed by reference. This never
really made sense because

a) Expressions like array(&$a, &$b) can be meaningfully iterated by-ref
b) Function calls can return by-ref (so they can also be meaningfully
iterated)
c) Iterators could at least in theory also be iterated by-ref (not
sure if any iterator makes use of this)

With by-ref generators the restriction makes even less sense, so I removed
it altogether.

Require parenthesis around yield expressions

If yield is used in an expression context parenthesis are now required.
This ensures that the code is unambiguos.

Yield statements can still be used without parenthesis (which should be
the most common case).

Also yield expressions without value can be used without parenthesis,
too (this should be the most common case for coroutines).

If the yield expression is used in a context where parenthesis are required
anyway, no additional parenthesis have to be inserted.

Examples:

// Statements don't need parenthesis
yield $foo;
yield $foo => $bar;

// Yield without value doesn't need parenthesis either
$data = yield;

// Parentheses don't have to be duplicated
foo(yield $bar);
if (yield $bar) { ... }

// But we have to use parentheses here
$foo = (yield $bar);

This commit also fixes an issue with by-ref passing of $foo[0] like
variables. They previously weren't properly fetched for write.

Additionally this fixes valgrind warnings which were caused by access to
uninitialized memory in zend_is_function_or_method_call().

Remove asterix modifier (*) for generators

Remove asterix modifier (*) for generators

Generators are now automatically detected by the presence of a `yield`
expression in their body.

This removes the ZEND_SUSPEND_AND_RETURN_GENERATOR opcode. Instead
additional checks for ZEND_ACC_GENERATOR are added to the fcall_common
helper and zend_call_function.

This also adds a new function zend_generator_create_zval, which handles
the actual creation of the generator zval from an op array.

I feel like I should deglobalize the zend_create_execute_data_from_op_array
code a bit. It currently changes EG(current_execute_data) and
EG(opline_ptr) which is somewhat confusing (given the name).

Add support for yielding keys

Keys are yielded using the

yield $key => $value

syntax. Currently this is implemented as a statement only and not as an
expression, because conflicts arise considering nesting and use in arrays:

yield yield $a => $b;
// could be either
yield (yield $a) => $b;
// or
yield (yield $a => $b);

Once I find some way to resolve these conflicts this should be available
as an expression too.

Also the key yielding code is rather copy-and-past-y for the value yielding
code, so that should be factored out.

Allow arbitrary expressions for empty()

This change is as per RFC https://wiki.php.net/rfc/empty_isset_exprs.

The change allows passing the result of function calls and other
expressions to the empty() language construct. This is accomplished by
simply rewriting empty(expr) to !expr.

The change does not affect the suppression of errors when using empty()
on variables. empty($undefinedVar) will continue not to throw errors.
When an expression is used inside empty() on the other hand, errors will
not be suppressed. Thus empty($undefinedVar + $somethingElse) *will*
throw a notice.

The change also does not make empty() into a real function, so using
'empty' as a callback is still not possible.

In addition to the empty() changes the commit adds nicer error messages
when isset() is used on function call results or other expressions.

Fix lexing of nested heredoc strings in token_get_all()

This fixes bug #60097.

Before two global variables CG(heredoc) and CG(heredoc_len) were used to
track the current heredoc label. In order to support nested heredoc
strings the *previous* heredoc label was assigned as the token value of
T_START_HEREDOC and the language_parser.y assigned that to CG(heredoc).

This created a dependency of the lexer on the parser. Thus the
token_get_all() function, which accesses the lexer directly without
also running the parser, was not able to tokenize nested heredoc strings
(and leaked memory). Same applies for the source-code highlighting
functions.

The new approach is to maintain a heredoc_label_stack in the lexer, which
contains all active heredoc labels.

As it is no longer required, T_START_HEREDOC and T_END_HEREDOC now don't
carry a token value anymore.

In order to make the work with zend_ptr_stack in this context more
convenient I added a new function zend_ptr_stack_top(), which retrieves the
top element of the stack (similar to zend_stack_top()).
