Description:
------------
When you call the 'diff' function onto or from a DateTime object that did a 'sub' operation before, it will substract again the same amount of time from the DateTime object before calculating the difference, so neither the result nor the DateTime object will have the correct values.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$date1 = date_create("2009-03-27");
$date2 = date_create("2009-03-01");
print "\$date1 at init: " . $date1->format("Y-m-d") . "\n";
print "\$date2 at init: " . $date2->format("Y-m-d") . "\n";
$diff = $date1->diff($date2);
print "\$date1 after first diff: " . $date1->format("Y-m-d") . "\n";
print "\$diff->days after first diff: " . $diff->days . "\n";
$date1 = $date1->sub(new DateInterval("P2D"));
print "\$date1 after sub: " . $date1->format("Y-m-d") . "\n";
$diff = $date1->diff($date2);
print "\$date1 after second diff (called at \$date1): " . $date1->format("Y-m-d") . "\n";
print "\$diff->days after second diff: " . $diff->days . "\n";
$diff = $date2->diff($date1);
print "\$date1 after third diff (called at \$date2): " . $date1->format("Y-m-d") . "\n";
print "\$diff->days after third diff: " . $diff->days . "\n";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
$date1 at init: 2009-03-27
$date2 at init: 2009-03-01
$date1 after first diff: 2009-03-27
$diff->days after first diff: 26
$date1 after sub: 2009-03-25
$date1 after second diff (called at $date1): 2009-03-25
$diff->days after second diff: 24
$date1 after third diff (called at $date2): 2009-03-25
$diff->days after third diff: 24

Actual result:
--------------
$date1 at init: 2009-03-27
$date2 at init: 2009-03-01
$date1 after first diff: 2009-03-27
$diff->days after first diff: 26
$date1 after sub: 2009-03-25
$date1 after second diff (called at $date1): 2009-03-23
$diff->days after second diff: 22
$date1 after third diff (called at $date2): 2009-03-21
$diff->days after third diff: 20

date_sub in php_date.c doesn't reset dateobj->time->have_relative.

The following patch (against 5.3 SVN) includes a fix and a test case:
