Allow overriding completion in `auto_prepend_file`

Currently, it's possible to override `php -a`s completion
functionality to provide an alternative to the C implementation,
with `readline_completion_function()`.

However, that surprisingly gets overridden when called from
`auto_prepend_file`, because those scripts get run before the interactive shell
is started. I believe that not overriding it would be more consistent
with what happens when you override the completion function **after** the
interactive shell.

CLI is the only built-in API that uses this (See discussion in GH-5872).
I believe MINIT and RINIT will only run once when invoked with `php -a`.

Add documentation about the architecture of how php uses readline/libedit

Implement named parameters

From an engine perspective, named parameters mainly add three
concepts:

* The SEND_* opcodes now accept a CONST op2, which is the
argument name. For now, it is looked up by linear scan and
runtime cached.
* This may leave UNDEF arguments on the stack. To avoid having
to deal with them in other places, a CHECK_UNDEF_ARGS opcode
is used to either replace them with defaults, or error.
* For variadic functions, EX(extra_named_params) are collected
and need to be freed based on ZEND_CALL_HAS_EXTRA_NAMED_PARAMS.

Implement 'Saner Numeric Strings' RFC:

RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/saner-numeric-strings

This removes the -1 allow_error mode from is_numeric_string functions and replaces it by
a trailing boolean out argument to preserve BC in a couple of places.

Most of the changes can be resumed to "numeric" strings which emitted a E_NOTICE now emit
a E_WARNING and "numeric" strings which emitted a E_WARNING now throw a TypeError.

This mostly affects:
- String offsets
- Arithmetic operations
- Bitwise operations

Fix bug #79108

Don't expose references in debug_backtrace() or exception traces.
This is regardless of whether the argument is by-reference or not.

As a side-effect of this change, exception traces may now acquire
the interior value of a reference, which may be unexpected for
some internal functions. This is what necessitated the change in
the spl_array sort implementation.

Export php_gd_libgdimageptr_from_zval_p()

Some extension may need to retrieve the `gdImagePtr` from an `GdImage`
object; thus, we export the respective function. To not being forced
to include gd.h in php_gd.h, we use the opaque `struct gdImageStruct *`
as return type.

We also rename php_gd2.dll to php_gd.dll, since there's not really much
point in giving the DLL a version number, since there is no php_gd.dll
for years (if there ever has been). Renaming, on the other hand,
matches the name on other systems (gd.so), and allows to actually use
`ADD_EXTENSION_DEP()`.
