Change in internal call_user_function() API.

Hi,

PHP-7.0 internal call_user_function() API doesn't support function calls with preinitialised symbol tables.

This just can't work in general , because values of arguments might be already initialized in CV as well as in symbol table.

I propose to remove the corresponding internal API in master:

remove last argument of call_user_function_ex()
remove zend_call_info.symbol_table field

https://gist.github.com/dstogov/5550827aa695ff8cb803

The tricky way was used in phpdbg only, but that code doesn't work, and should be fixed anyway.

Thanks. Dmitry.

I think it's okey, (I assume this is for 7.1, right?)

the value caller want to pass in should goes via arguments, which is a
more reasonable way.

thanks

Of course. Even for for 7.1 Nikita suggested to keep source level
compatibility for call_user_function_ex(), and I agree with him.
I'll wait for Bob's response (phpdbg is, probably, the only one user if
this broken feature), and then commit.

Thanks. Dmitry,
