Merge mainstream 'master' branch into refactoring
During merge I had to revert:
Nikita's patch for php_splice() (it probably needs to be applyed again)
Bob Weinand's patches related to constant expression handling (we need to review them carefully)
I also reverted all our attempts to support sapi/phpdbg (we didn't test it anyway)

Optimized zend_leave_helper()

Cache op_array->run_time_cache in zend_execute_data for faster access

Moved zend_literal->cache_slot right into zval.
It should be accessed using Z_CACHE_SLOT() macro.
zend_literal structure is removed.
API functions that accepted pointer to zend_literal no

Moved zend_literal->cache_slot right into zval.
It should be accessed using Z_CACHE_SLOT() macro.
zend_literal structure is removed.
API functions that accepted pointer to zend_literal now accept pointer to zval or cache_slot directly.
Calls of such functiond that now accept cache_slot need to be changed to pass -1 instead of NULL.

Merge branch 'PHP-5.6'

Optimized ISSET_ISEMPTY_DIM_OBJ

Use macros

Optimized RECV_* opcodes

Refactored ZVAL flags usage to simplify various checks (e.g. Z_REFCOUNTED(), candidate for GC, etc)

Refactored data structures to keep zend_object* instead of a whole zval in some places

Use ZVAL_DEREF() macro

Replaced (Z_TYPE(x) == IS_REFERENCE) with (Z_ISREF(x))

Refactored GC (incomplete)

Refactored EG(active_symbol_table) to be zend_array* instead of HashTable*

Fixed zend_is_true to support IS_REFERENCE

Handle interned strings as non-refcounted scalars

Fixed destruction of VM handler operands (FREE_OP1 and family)

Use better data structures (incomplete)

Use better data structures (incomplete; able to run bench.php)
