Description:
------------
When serialising (serialize()) a DatePeriod object which has been initialised with DateTimeImmutable instances, the DateTimeImmutable type gets lost, and is converted to DateTime

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$oDay = new DateTimeImmutable('2019-10-25');

$oDateInterval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('1 day');

$oDays = new DatePeriod($oDay, $oDateInterval, $oDay->modify('+1 day'));

print serialize($oDays);

// Output: O:10:"DatePeriod":6:{s:5:"start";O:8:"DateTime": ...

Expected result:
----------------
O:10:"DatePeriod":6:{s:5:"start";O:8:"DateTimeImmutable":3:{s:4:"date";s:26:"2019-10-25 00:00:00.000000";s:13:"timezone_type";i:3;s:8:"timezone";s:10:"US/Pacific";}s:7:"current";N;s:3:"end";O:8:"DateTimeImmutable":3:{s:4:"date";s:26:"2019-10-26 00:00:00.000000";s:13:"timezone_type";i:3;s:8:"timezone";s:10:"US/Pacific";}s:8:"interval";O:12:"DateInterval":16:{s:1:"y";i:0;s:1:"m";i:0;s:1:"d";i:1;s:1:"h";i:0;s:1:"i";i:0;s:1:"s";i:0;s:1:"f";d:0;s:7:"weekday";i:0;s:16:"weekday_behavior";i:0;s:17:"first_last_day_of";i:0;s:6:"invert";i:0;s:4:"days";b:0;s:12:"special_type";i:0;s:14:"special_amount";i:0;s:21:"have_weekday_relative";i:0;s:21:"have_special_relative";i:0;}s:11:"recurrences";i:1;s:18:"include_start_date";b:1;}2019-10-25

Actual result:
--------------
O:10:"DatePeriod":6:{s:5:"start";O:8:"DateTime":3:{s:4:"date";s:26:"2019-10-25 00:00:00.000000";s:13:"timezone_type";i:3;s:8:"timezone";s:10:"US/Pacific";}s:7:"current";N;s:3:"end";O:8:"DateTime":3:{s:4:"date";s:26:"2019-10-26 00:00:00.000000";s:13:"timezone_type";i:3;s:8:"timezone";s:10:"US/Pacific";}s:8:"interval";O:12:"DateInterval":16:{s:1:"y";i:0;s:1:"m";i:0;s:1:"d";i:1;s:1:"h";i:0;s:1:"i";i:0;s:1:"s";i:0;s:1:"f";d:0;s:7:"weekday";i:0;s:16:"weekday_behavior";i:0;s:17:"first_last_day_of";i:0;s:6:"invert";i:0;s:4:"days";b:0;s:12:"special_type";i:0;s:14:"special_amount";i:0;s:21:"have_weekday_relative";i:0;s:21:"have_special_relative";i:0;}s:11:"recurrences";i:1;s:18:"include_start_date";b:1;}2019-10-25

I just realised, that my "Expected result" is misleading.
So here is another example code:

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$oDay = new DateTimeImmutable('2019-10-25');

$oDateInterval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('1 day');

$oDays = new DatePeriod($oDay, $oDateInterval, $oDay->modify('+1 day'));

print 'Before serialize():' . PHP_EOL;

foreach ($oDays as $oDay) {
    print $oDay->modify('+1 day')->format('Y-m-d') . PHP_EOL;
    print $oDay->format('Y-m-d') . PHP_EOL;
}

print 'After serialize():' . PHP_EOL;

$oDaysSerialized = unserialize(serialize($oDays));

foreach ($oDaysSerialized as $oDay) {
    print $oDay->modify('+1 day')->format('Y-m-d') . PHP_EOL;
    print $oDay->format('Y-m-d') . PHP_EOL;
}

Expected result:
----------------
Before serialize():
2019-10-26
2019-10-25
After serialize():
2019-10-26
2019-10-25


Actual result:
--------------
Before serialize():
2019-10-26
2019-10-25
After serialize():
2019-10-26
2019-10-26

Confirmed: <https://3v4l.org/WaCMr>.  This is, however, not
particularly related to serialization, but rather a general issue
regarding the get_properties handler, which unconditionally
creates $start and $end as DateTime instances[1].

This is not a backwards compatible change. Our company just updated from 7.3.11 to 7.3.12 and this broke a lot of tests and production code. Not sure what we can do at this point...
 [2019-11-28 22:27 UTC] cmb@php.net
Few bug fixes are backwards compatible, and in my opinion, the
former behavior was a bug.  Anyhow, if you feel this commit should
be reverted for PHP 7.3, I'm not strongly opposed, but would
suggest to discuss this on the internals mailing list.
