zend_vm: Add OPcode specialization for === []

Checking whether an array is empty with a strict comparison against the empty
array is a common pattern in PHP. A GitHub search for `"=== []" language:PHP`
reveals 44k hits. From the set of `!$a`, `count($a) === 0`, `empty($a)` and
`$a === []` it however is also the slowest option.

A test script:

    <?php

    $variable = array_fill(0, 10, random_int(1, 2));

    $f = true;
    for ($i = 0; $i < 50_000_000; $i++) {
    	$isEmpty = $variable === [];
    	$f = $f && $isEmpty;
    }

    var_dump($f);

with the `$isEmpty = …;` statement appropriately replaced results in:

    Summary

This patch adds another OPcode specialization for `ZEND_IS_IDENTICAL` that
specifically matches a comparison against the empty array. With this
specialization the `=== []` check becomes the fastest of them all, which is not
surprising given how specific it is:

    Benchmark 1: sapi/cli/php -d zend_extension=modules/opcache.so -d opcache.enable_cli=1 count.php
      Time (mean ± σ):     384.1 ms ±   2.3 ms    [User: 379.3 ms, System: 3.8 ms]
      Range (min … max):   382.2 ms … 389.8 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: sapi/cli/php -d zend_extension=modules/opcache.so -d opcache.enable_cli=1 empty.php
      Time (mean ± σ):     305.8 ms ±   3.2 ms    [User: 301.7 ms, System: 3.8 ms]
      Range (min … max):   304.4 ms … 314.9 ms    10 runs

      Warning: Statistical outliers were detected. Consider re-running this benchmark on a quiet system without any interferences from other programs. It might help to use the '--warmup' or '--prepare' options.

    Benchmark 3: sapi/cli/php -d zend_extension=modules/opcache.so -d opcache.enable_cli=1 identical.php
      Time (mean ± σ):     293.9 ms ±   2.9 ms    [User: 289.7 ms, System: 3.3 ms]
      Range (min … max):   291.5 ms … 299.4 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 4: sapi/cli/php -d zend_extension=modules/opcache.so -d opcache.enable_cli=1 not.php
      Time (mean ± σ):     306.8 ms ±   0.4 ms    [User: 303.8 ms, System: 2.7 ms]
      Range (min … max):   306.3 ms … 307.3 ms    10 runs

    Summary
      sapi/cli/php -d zend_extension=modules/opcache.so -d opcache.enable_cli=1 identical.php ran
        1.04 ± 0.01 times faster than sapi/cli/php -d zend_extension=modules/opcache.so -d opcache.enable_cli=1 empty.php
        1.04 ± 0.01 times faster than sapi/cli/php -d zend_extension=modules/opcache.so -d opcache.enable_cli=1 not.php
        1.31 ± 0.02 times faster than sapi/cli/php -d zend_extension=modules/opcache.so -d opcache.enable_cli=1 count.php

As a follow-up optimization it might be possible to transform the other
emptiness checks, such as `count($arr) === 0` into `$arr === []` if `$arr` is
known to be `MAY_BE_ARRAY` only.
