zend_empty_array is also used for normal empty arrays [], so it should be possible to make this

Description:
------------
Currently zend_fake_get_properties in ext/ffi/ffi.c returns a pointer to
const HashTable zend_empty_array. Attempting to iterate over this array in userland
leads to a segfault because PHP tries to increment zend_empty_array's
nIteratorsCount which is const memory.
The proposed patch allows objects to return NULL for the get_properties handler. In
this case, the VM skips the foreach block.
If this approach is acceptable, there are other extensions and call sites[1][2] to fix where
zend_empty_array leaks into userland.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$ffi = FFI::cdef('');
foreach ($ffi as $_) {
}
Expected result:
----------------
no segfault
Actual result:
--------------
segfault
