While debugging some very odd memory issues in a live application, I noticed that this component shows some unexpected memory consumption and memory would not immediately be freed as expected. Let's not call this a "memory leak", because memory was eventually freed, but this clearly caused some unexpected and significant memory growth.

Parts of this issue have been resolved with #32 already which raised the discussion to address these issues in the upstream react/promise component. A number of patches have been filed via reactphp/promise#113, reactphp/promise#115, reactphp/promise#116 and reactphp/promise#117.

I'm marking this PR as WIP because the referenced changes are yet to be released as part of react/promise v2.6.0. Once this release is out, I'll update the version reference and this should be ready to be shipped.

This PR actually includes a number of tests that show how garbage memory references are no longer an issue in any supported PHP version and how these functions no longer cause any such references on their own (unlike the previous changes in #32 this means that we can now test this and this requires no effort on the consumer side anymore).

@clue clue added this to the v1.4.0 milestone May 4, 2018

For the reference, the one failing test case covers the problem addressed in reactphp/promise#117 (and also covered in reactphp/promise#118, but for PHP 7+ only), so that this should be fixed once either PR is in. I'll update this PR accordingly then. :shipit:

Fixed tests by updating now that reactphp/promise#117 and reactphp/promise#118 are in. I'll remove the WIP marker as soon as these are released as part of react/promise v2.6.0 :shipit:
