Description:
------------
We can't log php errors that occur inside soap server code at all.

Soap server returns fatal php errors back to client, without line numbers or traces so debugging is very difficult.

There's older reports about the issue for example this: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42214

It was closed with jani@php.net explaining that fatal errors can't be caught inside running PHP which was the case for PHP version 5.x but I believe PHP 7.x improvements should make catching and logging fatal errors from soap server possible.

Even fixing the use_soap_error_handler(false); so that it logs fatals to the same place as non-soap code would be great.

Test script:
---------------
// beginning of the soap server index.php
use_soap_error_handler(false);

Expected result:
----------------
PHP Fatal errors should go to error log configured in php.ini

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Fatal errors are returned from server to the client
