Description:
------------
If php_request_startup() fails, for instance because an extension throws an error during its RINIT, then the CLI server doesn't run php_request_shutdown().

In particular, the memory manager will not be shutdown, which means that repeatedly issuing errors during RINIT will result in eventually PHP running out of memory.

Test script:
---------------
See https://gist.github.com/cataphract/b3d6fca0dc31132a5d190d2de7d07db3

build the image and start a container. Then hit http://localhost:8080/ After 3 or requests, the CLI server will exit due to lack of memory.

Expected result:
----------------
The server runs continuously.

Actual result:
--------------
The server exits after a couple of requests.

Thanks!  I wonder, though, whether it is generally safe to call
`php_request_shutdown()` after `php_request_startup()` has failed.

The Apache SAPI does call shutdown after a failed startup:

https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/5d6e923d46a89fe9cd8fb6c3a6da675aa67197b4/sapi/apache2handler/sapi_apache2.c#L710

and we haven't had any crashes reported from the errors raised during RINIT in our extension (sqreen).

FPM simply exists if there's an error during RINIT but it can be worked around easily for our purposes.
