Description:
------------
When the creation of a SoapClient object fails then DOMDocument::save() no longer works. This issue came up in the context of PHPUnit:

* https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-code-coverage/issues/692
* https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-code-coverage/pull/721
* https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-code-coverage/issues/692#issuecomment-579761041

A minimal and self-contained script that reproduces the issue is provided below.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
try {
  new \SoapClient('does-not-exist.wsdl');
} catch (Throwable $t) {
}

$dom = new DOMDocument;

$dom->loadxml('<?xml version="1.0" ?><root />');

var_dump($dom->save('/tmp/test.xml'));


Expected result:
----------------
int(number of bytes written)

Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)

Please note that DOMDocument::saveXml() works, so the document is correctly stored in the DOMDocument object. It is "just" that DOMDocument::save() no longer works after an error in SoapClient occurred.

This is caused by the SoapClient constructor invoking zend_bailout() when any exception other than a SoapFault is encountered [1]. This results in unclean_shutdown being set, which prevents the write operation taking place [2].

The logic in SoapClient is clearly wrong here, I suspect it shouldn't be directly responsible for invoking zend_bailout() at all but I'm not 100% certain of that.
