Description:
------------
While fuzzing PHP 7 built from git source with AFL (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/), I discoved a script that causes a null ptr deref and a seg fault in convert_to_long_base (zend_operators.c:303). 

Test script:
---------------
<?php
class SplMinHeap0 extends SplMinHeap{public function&compare($b){return$t;}}$h=new SplMinHeap0;$h->insert(0);$h->insert(0)?>

Expected result:
----------------
No crash. Supplied code runs w/o error with PHP 5.4.41-0+deb7u1.

Actual result:
--------------
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

This issue exists in various forms in many places we use convert_to_*, because it currently does not support references.

My plan is to implement the following behavior:
 * convert_to_* functions will either UNREF if rc=1 or DELREF+DEREF if rc>1 -- this is the same as convert_scalar_to_number
 * convert_to_*_ex function will DEREF and then convert_to_*

So that convert_to drops the reference (which is what you usually want on temporaries), while _ex keeps it and modifies the referenced value.

Also just noticed that the implementation of convert_scalar_to_number looks broken -- http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_TRUNK/Zend/zend_operators.c#147 should probably be ZVAL_COPY.

Fixed by https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/fb346c8f9376d4a0be80e242406c1bb8dbf710f0.

I ended up keeping convert_to_*_ex as an alias of convert_to_* -- we're currently using _ex on things like &retval, which is incompatible with DEREF.
