Stdlib: RequestParseBodyException + request_parse_body() missing on 8.4 profile (pairs #5965, ext/standard/http.c)

Problem

PHP 8.4 adds request_parse_body() and RequestParseBodyException for parsing raw HTTP request bodies without populating superglobals. On PHP_COMPILER_PROFILE=8.4, neither the function nor the exception class is registered despite http_get_last_response_headers() being available on the same profile.

Verified 2026-07-06 on master.

Repro	Zend 8.4	VM 8.4 (2026-07-06)
`class_exists('RequestParseBodyException')`	`true`	`false`
`function_exists('request_parse_body')`	`true`	`false`

Pairs open epic Stdlib: request_parse_body() — PHP 8.4 HTTP body parser without superglobals (ext/standard/http.c) #5965

PHP implementation target

ext/standard/ — register RequestParseBodyException + request_parse_body() behind CompilerVersion 8.4 forward gate
Reuse lib/Web/MultipartParser.php / existing HTTP parsing helpers where possible (PHP-in-PHP)
VM first; JIT/AOT lowering follow-up acceptable if gated in capability matrix

Repro

./script/docker-exec.sh -- bash -lc 'PHP_COMPILER_PROFILE=8.4 php bin/vm.php test/repro/maintainer_gap_request_parse_body_exception_forward_84.php'
# fail: RequestParseBodyException and request_parse_body() not registered

Done when

PHP_COMPILER_PROFILE=8.4: RequestParseBodyException registered; request_parse_body() parses simple application/x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/form-data bodies per php-src
Default 8.2 reference profile: symbols withheld like Zend 8.2
