Drop support for printf p modifier

To be conservative, cause a fatal error if the p modifier is
encountered, in case this is still used by some extension.

Rewrite PDO result binding

Instead of requiring the type to be determined in advance by the
describer function and then requiring get_col to return a buffer
of appropriate type, allow get_col to return an arbitrary zval.
See UPGRADING.INTERNALS for a more detailed description of the
change.

This makes the result fetching simpler, more efficient and more
flexible. The general possibility already existed via the special
PDO_PARAM_ZVAL type, but the usage was very inconvenient and/or
inefficient. Now it's possible to easily implement behavior like
"return int if it fits, otherwise string" and to avoid any kind
of complex management of temporary buffers.

This also fixes bug #40913 (our second highest voted bug of all
time, for some reason). PARAM_LOB result bindings will now
consistently return a stream resource, independently of the used
database driver.

I've tried my best to update all PDO drivers for this change, but
some of the changes may be broken, as I cannot test or even build
some of these drivers (in particular PDO dblib and PDO oci).
Fixes are appreciated -- a working CI setup would be even more
appreciated ;)

Extensions should have the final say on their compiler flags

Currently compiler flags passed by extensions using the standard
``PHP_NEW_EXTENSION`` and ``PHP_ADD_SOURCES`` m4 macros are prepended
before the ones defined by ``Zend/Zend.m4``.

This was not really an issue before as ``Zend.m4`` only included
``-Wall`` but since the addition of ``-Wextra`` various issue about
disabling flags have been brought up.

A preliminary attempt was done in commit 5c1cf7669b937dcb4589cb0c8deccd343dfd85f9
but this turns out to be more or less irrelevant.

The root issue is that ``PHP_NEW_EXTENSION`` and ``PHP_ADD_SOURCES`` call the
``PHP_ADD_SOURCES_X`` macro and pass their flags as the 3rd argument which prepends
the flags. There exists a 6th argument for this macro which appends them but from a
cursory look at https://heap.space/search?full=PHP_ADD_SOURCES_X&project=php-src
this is not used. Moreover, the comment describing this macro explicitly informs
that this macro should not be used directly.

As such we drop the 6th argument of ``PHP_ADD_SOURCES_X`` and move the `special-flags`
argument to be appended instead of prepended.

Closes GH-6204

Check linker compatibility directly from HMODULE

Checking the linker compatibility with extranous `ImageLoad()` calls is
possible, but unnecessary, since the modules are either already loaded
or loaded shortly afterwards, so that we can get the required
information directly from the module handles. And actually, doing
`ImageLoad()` as well as `LoadLibrary()` leaves a tiny room for a race
condition, because both functions will lookup the module in the search
path, so there is no *guarantee* that both are dealing with the same
module. Dropping the `ImageLoad()` calls also has the advantage to no
longer face the issue reported in bug #79557. A very minor additional
advantage is that we no longer have to link against Imagehlp.dll.

Furthermore, there is no need to check for CRT compatibility multiple
times, so we can simplify the signature of `php_win32_crt_compatible`,
and at the same time clean up main.c a bit.

These changes require to change the signature of the exported
`php_win32_image_compatible` and `php_win32_crt_compatible` functions,
which now expect a `HMODULE` and nothing, respectively, instead of the
module name.

Add system ID entropy API

The `zend_system_id` is a (true global) system ID that fingerprints a process state. When extensions add engine hooks during MINIT/startup, entropy is added the system ID for each hook. This allows extensions to identify that changes have been made to the engine since the last PHP process restart.
