Re: A new JIT engine for PHP-8.4/9

Hi, After the code-review feedback, one of the most questionable decisions was changed. Instead of including IR Framework as a git submodule, now its part is embedded into php-src. This will complicate the IR/JIT development a bit, but will simplify things for everyone else. I'm going to merge https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/12079 into master next week. If someone likes to take a look before, please do it now. After the merge, I don't plan to do active PHP-JIT development for 1-2 months (I'll wait for problems, bugs, etc and work on general IR improvements). Then, in case of no major problems, I'm going to remove the old JIT implementation and make a PHP-JIT code-cleanup pass. Thanks. Dmitry.
