Ilia Alshanetsky 207dd1d23f Fix GH-22480: phpdbg use-after-free re-watching a watched variable (#22493)
phpdbg_add_watch_element() frees the passed element and returns the
existing one when the variable is already watched, but several callers
kept using the freed pointer, so re-watching a variable was a
use-after-free in more places than the two reported. Report the duplicate
back through the parse callback and register nothing, and reject a
recursive watch's hashtable element that collides with an existing watch,
at creation and recreation, rather than freeing a still-referenced one. A
recursive watch over an already-array-watched variable now watches only
the root and skips the shared hashtable.

Running the tests under ASAN exposed a second, latent use-after-free at
shutdown: the watch tables are module-scoped but hold request-pool memory,
so under the tracked allocator freeing a watched variable during executor
teardown re-queues an element after the last drain, tracked_free_all frees
the pool, and phpdbg_destroy_watchpoints reads it at module shutdown. Tear
the watch state down in a post_deactivate handler, which runs after the
executor frees values but before the memory manager is torn down.

Dropping watch_006's xfail surfaced a separate pre-existing bug on
large-page platforms: the fault handler rechecks every watchpoint on the
faulting page, so on 16 KB pages a value-only write to an element can
fault the page holding a watched hashtable's own struct and run the
recursive rescan, which re-reported existing elements as freshly added.
Only run that rescan when the element count actually changed.
