Description:
------------
When `opcache.file_cache` is used, the memory address of the opcode handlers are serialized into the op_array that is stored in the second-level cache files. This includes custom opcode handlers provided by extensions.

On process restart, the cached files are loaded into memory on the next request. The issue is that after a process restart, the extensions that were present when the op_array was serialized are not guaranteed to be there on restart. Or a user could have upgraded an extension and it hooks different opcodes than the previous version. If either of these are the case, the request will cause a SIGSEGV when it tries to access the address of the custom opcode handler that no longer exists.

To repro this issue:

1. Install an extension that provides custom opcode handlers
2. Start up a process with `opcache.file_cache` set
3. Run a request that emits an opcode hooked by the installed extension
4. Then disable the extension, restart, and run the request again

Here's an example using Xdebug and the test script below.

```bash
$ mkdir tmp && php-cgi \
    -d opcache.file_cache=$(pwd)/tmp \
    -d xdebug.scream=1 \
    -f bug.php

# Remove Xdebug before running

$ php-cgi \
    -d opcache.file_cache=$(pwd)/tmp \
    -f bug.php
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

$ gdb php-cgi core
[...]
Core was generated by `php-cgi -d opcache.file_cache=/home/circleci/app/tmp -f bug.php'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

# xdebug.scream=1 overloads ZEND_BEGIN_SILENCE & ZEND_END_SILENCE
# @see https://github.com/xdebug/xdebug/blob/f83939c/src/develop/develop.c#L79-L81
@var_dump('foo');


Expected result:
----------------
string(3) "foo"

Actual result:
--------------
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
