Add PHP_BUILD_DATE constant

This information can be occasionally useful, and would otherwise need
to be parsed from `phpinfo()` output.

However, maybe more importantly we unify the build date between what is
given by `php -v` and `php -i`, since these compilation units are not
necessarily preprocessed within the same second.

Closes GH-16747.

Fix GH-16665: \array and \callable should not be usable

This list was initially introduced in 53a40386, but never included array or
callable. I suppose this is because int & friends are not actual tokens,
while array and callable are. This means it was never possible to do class
array, which is probably the reason this was overlooked.

Allow determining the name of the file that defined a constant, when the
constant was defined in userland code via const or define(). For constants
defined by PHP core or extensions, false is returned, matching the existing

FFI: support symbol lookup without specifying lib on Windows

This works similar to `dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, …)` with the caveat that
symbols on Windows may not be unique, and are usually qualified by the
module they are exported from. That means that wrong symbols may be
fetched, potentially causing serious issues; therefore this usage is
not recommended for production purposes, but is a nice simplification
for quick experiments and the ext/ffi test suite.

Unify types of PHP_VERSION and friends on Windows

For `phpize` builds, all three version variables are numbers, but for
`buildconf` builds, all are strings. This can yield surprising results
when extensions create their `PHP_VERSION_ID` like

10000 * PHP_VERSION + 100 * PHP_MINOR_VERSION + PHP_RELEASE_VERSION

Since `phpize` builds are way more common for external extensions
nowadays, we change the types for `buildconf` builds.

This is likely more important than the possibility to build for AVX-512
since our official binaries have build time support for SSE2 only. So
proper detection of AVX may make a huge performance difference for
`base64_*()` and some MBString functionality.
