This patch removes the so called local variables defined per
file basis for certain editors to properly show tab width, and
similar settings. These are mainly used by Vim and Emacs editors
yet with recent changes the once working definitions don't work
anymore in Vim without custom plugins or additional configuration.
Neither are these settings synced across the PHP code base.
A simpler and better approach is EditorConfig and fixing code
using some code style fixing tools in the future instead.
This patch also removes the so called modelines for Vim. Modelines
allow Vim editor specifically to set some editor configuration such as
syntax highlighting, indentation style and tab width to be set in the
first line or the last 5 lines per file basis. Since the php test
files have syntax highlighting already set in most editors properly and
EditorConfig takes care of the indentation settings, this patch removes
these as well for the Vim 6.0 and newer versions.
With the removal of local variables for certain editors such as
Emacs and Vim, the footer is also probably not needed anymore when
creating extensions using ext_skel.php script.
Additionally, Vim modelines for setting php syntax and some editor
settings has been removed from some *.phpt files. All these are
mostly not relevant for phpt files neither work properly in the
middle of the file.
When the PHP source code was versioned in Subversion, there was
possible to substitute certain keywords such as $Id$ with revision
number, last change time and author name. Such approach is not used
in Git so this patch removes these outdated artifacts from source
code files.
Prohibit direct update of GC_REFCOUNT(), GC_SET_REFCOUNT(), GC_ADDREF() and GC_DELREF() shoukf be instead.
Added mactros to validate reference-counting (disabled for now).
These macros are going to be used to eliminate race-condintions during reference-counting on data shared between threads.
Hereby, interned strings are supported in thread safe PHP. The patch
implements two types of interned strings
- interning per process, strings are not freed till process end
- interning per request, strings are freed at request end
There is no runtime interning.
With Opcache, all the permanent iterned strings are copied into SHM on
startup, additional copying into SHM might happen on demand.
Historicaly, these macros were introduced as a protection from execution timeout handling, but we don't need them anymore after "safe execution timeout" implementation.
These macros are still useful to protect from termination during inner process data modification, because of OS signals (e.g. SIGTERM during OPcache SHM update).

Use the new 'ZSTR' macros in the rest of the code.
Does not change anything to the generated code (thanks to compat macros) but cleaner.
