Description:
------------
with opcache other than "Null coalescing operator" the "Null Coalescing Assignment" is not completly optimized out

function a()
{
 $test = $test ?? TRUE;
 return $test;
}

function b()
{
 $test ??= TRUE;
 return $test;
}

runtime difference with 50000000 calls:
a(): 3.1884
b(): 3.3666

function name:  a
number of ops:  2

   5     0*       COALESCE                                         ~1      !0
   6     1*       RETURN                                                   <true>

         1*       ASSIGN                                           $2      !0, <true>
  12     2*       RETURN                                                   !0

I think we mainly need to add pi node placement for coalesce.

Pi node placement turned out to be more complicated than anticipated, because it did not pass our existing profitability heuristic.

as i understand that it will be part of PHP8 and not optimized for 7.4?

Yes, this is only for master, as the change is non-trivial.

I'm also keeping this issue open, because we should still try to remove the COALESCE itself.
