Description:
------------
Since https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/f33c7b3e41bda272de83bcc4959b3e0b968e3124 the built-in server will leak the ext/date tzcache once per request.

Reason: The built-in server sends the response during output deactivate, which happens after deactivate modules. As ext/date releases the tzcache in RSHUTDOWN, this means that the tzcache is never released.

Possible resolution: Move tzcache destruction into post-deactivate. Or, if that is possible, make the emission of the Date header independent of ext/date.

What about creating the date string earlier during the request,
what would be permissible according to RFC 7231, section
7.1.1.2[1]:

| In practice, the date can be generated at any time during
| message origination.

I was debugging this through, but the behavior i see is different. When I request a simple phpinfo() script under "php -S 127.0.0.1:8087 -t.", php_output_end() and consequently append_essential_headers() runs before RSHUTDOWN. When a non existent script is requested, neither RINIT nor RSHUTDOWN is run, is this the case we're talking about? Same i see in CLI and Apache. 

A solution independent from ext/date is not that easy. Of course, it's possible to use the pure C runtime, but the timezone handling is still the point.

Thanks.

@ab: I'm seeing the leak if I run an "<?php\n" file (doing nothing). I just tried a phpinfo() and indeed, in that case it does not occur. So this might be an issue specific to the case where the script itself has no output.
