Leak messages reproduce on 7.3 and master, segfault only on 7.3.

Repro for leaks turned out to be quite simple:

<?php  
class Test {
    public static $test;
}
$foo = [&$foo];
Test::$test = $foo;

The problem here is that we're doing the final GC run prior to class destruction, which means that the static property still holds the cycle at that point.

We could move the final GC run until after class destruction (this should be safe as we call free_obj handlers before that, so the class entries will no longer be accessed), but I think that will break other things. In particular I moved the GC run earlier for 7.4 in https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/178dcd47490f7d7842c6c412e2331ed160e55809 to make sure that leaks aren't hidden by the combination of forced free_obj + a GC run.

Not sure what to do here...
