To be able to build the dba extension on Windows, libdb was required. This
is contrary to *nix where each handler can be configured individually. To
avoid BC breaks, we only do minimal modifications, instead of adjusting the
Windows configuration to match the *nix configuration, for now.
These are either in debug code (fix them), commented out (drop
them) or in dead compatibility macros (drop them).
One usage was in php_stream_get_from_zval(), which we have not used
since at least PHP 5.2 and, judging from the fact that nobody
complained about it causing compile errors in PHP 7, nobody else
uses it either, so drop it.
There are still remaining uses in mysqli embedded and odbc birdstep.
These probably need to be dropped outright.
When the user passes --with-db4=DIR to ./configure, the directory DIR
is searched for a number of paths in order of preference. These paths
contain possible locations for Berkeley DB (BDB) to be installed, and
since PHP only supports BDB-4.x and BDB-5.x, it's important that (for
example) version 5.1 be autodetected before falling back to
/usr/include/db.h which can point to BDB-6.x.
The newer BDB-5.3 works with PHP, and if only BDB-5.3 is installed on
the user's system, the current ./configure script is fine. However, if
both BDB-5.3 and BDB-6.0 are installed, version 5.3 is not
autodetected, causing BDB-6.0 to be used. The ./configure step then fails.
This commit adds autodetection for BDB-5.3, and fixes a bug reported
on Gentoo at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564824.

So we can use it there as well...
For now I've retained the zend_smart_str_public.h header, though
it would probably be better to just move that one struct into
zend_types.h.
