Fixed PHP memory leaks and arginfo errors (#8614)

* Fixed a bunch of incorrect arginfo and a few incorrect error messages. * Passes mem check test with no leaks! * WIP. * Fix build warning that was causing Bazel build to fail. * Added compatibility code for PHP <8.0. * Added test_valgrind target and made tests Valgrind-clean. * Updated Valgrind test to fail if memory leaks are detected. * Removed intermediate shell script so commands are easier to cut, paste, and modify. * Passing all Valgrind tests! * Hoist addref into ObjCache_Get(). * Removed special case of map descriptors by keying object map on upb_msgdef. * Removed all remaining RETURN_ZVAL() macros. * Removed all explicit reference add/del operations. * Added REFCOUNTING.md to Makefile.am.

+# Refcounting Tips
+
+One of the trickiest parts of the C extension for PHP is getting the refcounting
+right.  These are some notes about the basics of what you should know,
+especially if you're not super familiar with PHP's C API.
+
+These notes cover the same general material as [the Memory Management chapter of
+the PHP internal's
+book](https://www.phpinternalsbook.com/php7/zvals/memory_management.html), but
+calls out some points that were not immediately clear to me.
+
+##  Zvals
+
+In the PHP C API, the `zval` type is roughly analogous to a variable in PHP, eg:
+
+```php
+    // Think of $a as a "zval".
+    $a = [];
+```
+
+The equivalent PHP C code would be:
+
+```c
+    zval a;
+    ZVAL_NEW_ARR(&a);  // Allocates and assigns a new array.
+```
+
+PHP is reference counted, so each variable -- and thus each zval -- will have a
+reference on whatever it points to (unless its holding a data type that isn't
+refcounted at all, like numbers). Since the zval owns a reference, it must be
+explicitly destroyed in order to release this reference.
+
+```c
+    zval a;
+    ZVAL_NEW_ARR(&a);
+
+    // The destructor for a zval, this must be called or the ref will be leaked.
+    zval_ptr_dtor(&a);
+```
+
+Whenever you see a `zval`, you can assume it owns a ref (or is storing a
+non-refcounted type). If you see a `zval*`, which is also quite common, then
+this is *pointing to* something that owns a ref, but it does not own a ref
+itself.
+
+The [`ZVAL_*` family of
+macros](https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/4030a00e8b6453aff929362bf9b25c193f72c94a/Zend/zend_types.h#L883-L1109)
+initializes a `zval` from a specific value type.  A few examples:
+
+* `ZVAL_NULL(&zv)`: initializes the value to `null`
+* `ZVAL_LONG(&zv, 5)`: initializes a `zend_long` (integer) value
+* `ZVAL_ARR(&zv, arr)`: initializes a `zend_array*` value (refcounted)
+* `ZVAL_OBJ(&zv, obj)`: initializes a `zend_object*` value (refcounted)
+
+Note that all of our custom objects (messages, repeated fields, descriptors,
+etc) are `zend_object*`.
+
+The variants that initialize from a refcounted type do *not* increase the
+refcount. This makes them suitable for initializing from a newly-created object:
+
+```c
+    zval zv;
+    ZVAL_OBJ(&zv, CreateObject());
+```
+
+Once in a while, we want to initialize a `zval` while also increasing the
+reference count. For this we can use `ZVAL_OBJ_COPY()`:
+
+```c
+zend_object *some_global;
+
+void GetGlobal(zval *zv) {
+    // We want to create a new ref to an existing object.
+    ZVAL_OBJ_COPY(zv, some_global);
+}
+```
+
+## Transferring references
+
+A `zval`'s ref must be released at some point. While `zval_ptr_dtor()` is the
+simplest way of releasing a ref, it is not the most common (at least in our code
+base). More often, we are returning the `zval` back to PHP from C.
+
+```c
+    zval zv;
+    InitializeOurZval(&zv);
+    // Returns the value of zv to the caller and donates our ref.
+    RETURN_COPY_VALUE(&zv);
+```
+
+The `RETURN_COPY_VALUE()` macro (standard in PHP 8.x, and polyfilled in earlier
+versions) is the most common way we return a value back to PHP, because it
+donates our `zval`'s refcount to the caller, and thus saves us from needing to
+destroy our `zval` explicitly. This is ideal when we have a full `zval` to
+return.
+
+Once in a while we have a `zval*` to return instead. For example when we parse
+parameters to our function and ask for a `zval`, PHP will give us pointers to
+the existing `zval` structures instead of creating new ones.
+
+```c
+    zval *val;
+    if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS(), "z", &val) == FAILURE) {
+      return;
+    }
+    // Returns a copy of this zval, adding a ref in the process.
+    RETURN_COPY(val);
+```
+
+When we use `RETURN_COPY`, the refcount is increased; this is perfect for
+returning a `zval*` when we do not own a ref on it.
