Some of these are entirely unnecessary. Some specify an associativity
for operators where the concept doesn't make sense and has no effect:
Explicit associativity is only meaningful for binary operators. For
unary operators and constrained operations like instanceof or assignment
the associativity specification has no effect and only serves to confuse.
For example assignments were specified as %left, even though they will
actually behave as right-associative due to the variable requirement on
the LHS. Similarly instanceof was specified as %nonassoc, but it will
behave as left-associative, due to the restrictions places on the RHS.
This patch adds missing newlines, trims multiple redundant final
newlines into a single one, and trims redundant leading newlines in all
*.phpt sections.
According to POSIX, a line is a sequence of zero or more non-' <newline>'
characters plus a terminating '<newline>' character. [1] Files should
normally have at least one final newline character.
C89 [2] and later standards [3] mention a final newline:
"A source file that is not empty shall end in a new-line character,
which shall not be immediately preceded by a backslash character."
Although it is not mandatory for all files to have a final newline
fixed, a more consistent and homogeneous approach brings less of commit
differences issues and a better development experience in certain text
editors and IDEs.

This implements a reduced variant of #1226 with just the following
change:
-Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'EngineException' with message 'Call to private method foo::bar() from context ''' in %s:%d
+Fatal error: Uncaught EngineException: Call to private method foo::bar() from context '' in %s:%d
The '' wrapper around messages is very weird if the exception
message itself contains ''. Futhermore having the message wrapped
in '' doesn't work for the "and defined" suffix of
TypeExceptions.
TypeException stays as-is for now because it uses messages that are
incompatible with the way exception messages are displayed.
closure_038.phpt and a few others now show that we're generating
too many exceptions for compound operations on undefined properties
-- this needs to be fixed in a followup.
