Hello internals!

I would like to propose introducing two new modes to the function
`round()`: PHP_ROUND_DOWN and PHP_ROUND_UP.

Those modes are highly requested as you can see by the comments on round
documentation page. First comment mentioning about those modes has 309
votes as of today. Introducing those 2 modes would be complementing to the
rounding in this function.

Round documentation: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.round.php
My implementation: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/11741

I'm not sure if such minor improvement requires RFC, but as someone may
have some concerns I create this thread to get your feedback.

Kind regards,
Jorg
