Subject: Make error_reporting=E_ALL the default

Hi internals,

Relating to the recent discussions on undefined variables & co. One thing
that is particularly annoying about the undefined variable case is that our
default error_reporting level (without a php.ini) does not include E_NOTICE.

Thankfully distros do tend to have more reasonable defaults, but if you
spend as much time with custom PHP builds as I do, not seeing *anything*
for undefined variables is a pretty big annoyance.

Does anyone see an issue with making error_reporting=E_ALL the default in
PHP 8? It can of course still be manually downgraded via php.ini and
php.ini-production will retain the existing recommendation that excludes
E_DEPRECATED/E_STRICT.

Regards,
Nikita
