Summary0001015: Set display_errors and error_reporting to immutable values
Description

Frequently with an unfamiliar/unclear/obscure codebase, error_reporting() and the ini setting display_errors get set to unwanted values, and as a result errors are not displayed that may be useful for debugging purposes. It would be nice if xdebug provided the ability to define those values immutably before the runtime sets them to unwanted values for debugging. Something like 'xdebug.stubborn_error_reporting' and 'xdebug.stubborn_display_errors'. xdebug.scream does help, but that's not exactly what I'm talking about.

Steps To Reproduce

Have an unfamiliar codebase which disables / lowers error reporting and is giving you a white screen.

TagsNo tags attached.
Operating System
PHP Version5.3.3

I've added the xdebug.force_display_errors setting to force the display of
errors. I've also added the xdebug.force_error_reporting setting which acts
like a bitmask of errors that are force to be on. So that means that
xdebug.force_error_reporting=E_WARNING|E_USER_WARNING will make Xdebug always
display those two error types, regardless of what ini_set('error_reporting',
…); does. You can use xdebug.force_error_reporting=-1 to force the display of
all errors. xdebug.force_error_reporting can also be set through ini_set(),
although I perhaps will disable that later (to prevent "clever" scripts). What do you think? Is that necessary?

I've made the xdebug.force_display_errors and xdebug.force_error_reporting settings only settable in php.ini - and added some test cases.
