Deprecate old ReflectionParameter type declaration APIs

This deprecates:

ReflectionParameter::isArray()
ReflectionParameter::isCallable()
ReflectionParameter::getClass()

These APIs have been superseded by ReflectionParameter::getType()
since PHP 7.0. Types introduced since that time are not available
through the old APIs, and their behavior is getting increasingly
confusing. This is how they interact with PHP 8 union types:

* isArray() will return true if the type is array or ?array,
but not any other union type
* Same for isCallable().
* getClass() will return a class for T|int etc, as long as the
union only contains a single type. T1|T2 will return null.

This behavior is not particularly reasonable or useful, and will
get more confusing as new type system extensions are added.

Closes GH-5209.

Despite the docs claiming that data: wrappers would not be writable[1],
they are implemented as writing to a memory stream. That does not seem
to be particularly sensible, so we disallow writing altogether.

Do not inherit LC_CTYPE locale from environment

Treatment of locales in PHP is currently inconsistent: The LC_ALL
locale is set to "C", as is standard behavior on program startup.
The LC_CTYPE locale is set to "", which will inherit it from the
environment. However, the inherited LC_CTYPE locale will only be
used in some cases, while in other cases it is necessary to perform
an explicit setlocale() call in PHP first. This is the case for
the locale-sensitive handling in the PCRE extension.

Make things consistent by *never* inheriting any locales from the
environment. LC_ALL, including LC_CTYPE will be "C" on startup.
A locale can be set or inherited through an explicit setlocale()
call, at which point the behavior will be fully consistent and
predictable.

Closes GH-5488.

Completely remove disabled functions from function table

Completely remove disabled functions from function table

Currently, disabling a function only replaces the internal
function handler with one that throws a warning, and a few
places in the engine special-case such functions, such as
function_exists. This leaves us with a Schrödinger's function,
which both does not exist (function_exists returns false) and
does exist (you cannot define a function with the same name).
In particular, this prevents the implementation of robust
polyfills, as reported in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79382:

if (!function_exists('getallheaders')) {
function getallheaders(...) { ... }
}

If getallheaders() is a disabled function, this code will break.

This patch changes disable_functions to remove the functions from
the function table completely. For all intents and purposes, it
will look like the function does not exist.

This also renders two bits of PHP functionality obsolete and thus
deprecated:

* ReflectionFunction::isDisabled(), as it will no longer be
possible to construct the ReflectionFunction of a disabled
function in the first place.
* get_defined_functions() with $exclude_disabled=false, as
get_defined_functions() now never returns disabled functions.

Fixed bug #79382.

Closes GH-5473.
