Description:
------------
Hello!
I've made some improvements to run-tests.php:
1) Autoguessing TEST_PHP_EXECUTABLE and TEST_PHP_CGI_EXECUTABLE if
they're not provided, i.e. assume they have value 'auto'. You can
still pass your own value as usual.

Autoguessing is done this way:
Looking for ./sapi/cli/php from the current directory, and, if not found
from directory where run-tests.php script is resides (Christofer Jones 
suggestion). 
php-cgi is looked for the same way.

2) Added option -n (use no php.ini) to the shebang line
(#!/usr/bin/php -n) so it would run more reliably on some hosts. My
Ubuntu setup did not have E letter in variables_order (i.e.
variables_order=GPCS) so $_ENV array was empty and some tests were
skipped when they could be run.
3) Some better error handling of wrong paths

So now you can run run-tests.php with just
$ ./run-tests.php ext
instead of
$ TEST_PHP_EXECUTABLE=auto php -n run-tests.php ext

You can also run run-tests.php from sub-dir, it will correctly guess
'auto' as well:
$ cd ext/
$ ../run-tests.php zlib

how about use $0 ?

This patch is not about guessing php executable that runs run-tests.php, but is 
about php binary to be tested, these are often different binaries.

Alex, maybe you should submit the getenv part of the patch separately to 
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53617 as it seems that we have a general agreement 
on fixing that.

Nowadays run-tests.php defaults to using PHP_BINARY (formerly -P), as usually the same binary is used for running and testing.
