Description:
------------
In PHP 7.2, "track_errors = On" has been deprecated which means it is recommended to no longer use this feature.
Looking at the php.ini-production file that is shipped inside the source tarball, it says:

; track_errors
;   Default Value: Off
;   Development Value: On
;   Production Value: Off

Here it says that the value for development mode is On. This is clearly wrong, because looking at php.ini-development there is

; Store the last error/warning message in $php_errormsg (boolean).
; This directive is DEPRECATED.
; Default Value: Off
; Development Value: Off
; Production Value: Off
; http://php.net/track-errors
;track_errors = Off

So even in development mode, the value is Off. Either the section in "Quick Reference" should be updated or preferrably removed (I don't see a good reason mentioning a deprecated config option there).

I also miss a note at http://php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.track-errors that this configuration option has been deprecated.
