No notice is thrown for list() accesses, because we did not come
to an agreement regarding patterns like
while ([$key, $value] = yield $it->next()) { ... }
where silent null access may be desirable.
No effort is made to suppress multiple notices in access chains
likes $x[0][0][0], because the technical complexity this causes
does not seem worthwhile.

Another stab in the dark to fix the intermittent failures of timeout
tests on macos CI: We're using ITIMER_PROF, which means that the
timer counts against user+system time. The "busy" wait loop counts
against real time. Currently it calls microtime() on every iteration.
If that call is implemented as a syscall rather than going through
vDSO or commpage we might be seeing many context switches here which
drive up the real time, but not user or system time.
See if making the loop busier and calling microtime() less helps the
situation.

And convert some object to string conversion related recoverable
fatal errors into Error exceptions.
Improve exception safety of internal code performing string
conversions.
Ensure that the "creating default object from empty value" warning is
always thrown. Previously some cases were missing the warning, in
particular those going through FETCH_OBJ_W rather than a dedicated
opcode (like ASSIGN_OBJ).
One slightly unfortunate side-effect of this change is that something
like $a->b->c = 'd' will now generate two warnings rather than one
when $a is null (one for property b, one for property c).
I'm removing the argument entirely here, but we might want to change
this to passing null or and empty array instead, if the impact of
dropping it entirely turns out to be too large.
This was deprecated as part of https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecations_php_7_2
as a doc-only deprecation.
Access to undefined constants will now always result in an Error
exception being thrown.
This required quite a few test changes, because there were many
buggy tests that unintentionally used bareword fallback in combination
with error suppression.
