Hi internals,

I've created https://wiki.php.net/rfc/phar_stop_autoloading_metadata as 
mentioned earlier in https://externals.io/message/110856

This aims to add the mitigations described in 
https://externals.io/message/105271#105291 , which seemed to be the most 
straightforward approach to avoiding unexpected side effects of unserialization.
- For a trusted phar, I wouldn't expect to need to unserialize metadata to 
check for the file not being corrupt (e.g. there's a checksum, and people would 
have tested the phar manually).
- For an untrusted phar, I'd want php to avoid calling unserialize() when 
reading it.

https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76774 goes into more detail about the security 
issues this aims to fix. 

Thanks,
- Tyson
