php7 : generate native $v instanceof MyType instead of Std.is(v, MyType) where possible for better performance
php7 : added @:phpNoConstructor meta for externs which do not have native php constructors and yet can be constructed
php7 : greatly reduced amount of generated tmp vars
php7 : Array performance improvements
hl : made various improvements
