Description:
------------
Let some object implements ArrayAccess and its offsetGet() returns an array. Then if we use the accessed result as an unpacked (with ... token) argument we're getting an error: Indirect modification of overloaded element of class@anonymous has no effect.

Test script:
---------------
$object = new class implements ArrayAccess {
    public function offsetGet($offset)
    {
        return [1, 2];
    }
    public function offsetExists($offset)
    {
        return true;
    }
    public function offsetUnset($offset) {}
    public function offsetSet($offset, $value) {}
};
$x = max(...$object[0]);

Expected result:
----------------
$x contains 2.

Actual result:
--------------
Error: Indirect modification of overloaded element of class@anonymous has no effect

To clarify: this is a notice by default, not an error.  Anyhow,
this behavioral change has been introduced with commit 6913ec3[1].

The issue here is basically that ...$object[0] *might* want to modify $object[0] and the aforementioned commit actually makes that work -- unfortunately it emits this bogus notice in the case where we don't actually want to do the modification.

I don't see a good way to fix both issues at the same time, so I'm restoring previous behavior...

Reverted in https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/afd96392a344f1b2a8aac2be375293b47f633ca4 and test added in https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/bab8b3a8bef4b5fd5c3fe75ebb1c231614ef3cfa.
