PHP Bug Type:     *Configuration Issues
Bug description:  Additional .ini filre directory should not be a constant

Description:
------------
The directory for reading additional ini files is hardcoded (declared as a
constant). The base php.ini location is configurable, the additional ini
file dir isn't.

Compare:
php_ini_opened_path
PHP_CONFIG_FILE_SCAN_DIR

Why they should BOTH be configurable:
What if I want to have multiple HTTP services with just a single set of
binaries?

I may want to have serveral httpd.conf files, and have an Apache process
started with different configuration files. In these files I could want to
use the PHPINIDir directive. This works fine. The problem is that phpinfo()
keeps whining about the "Scan this dir for additional .ini files" It's
impossible to override this setting. Quite silly as we can easily have
multiple php.ini files for different goals (cli, http, etc).

So first of all this should be configurable (and why not in php.ini?)
Systems must be able to have multiple "instances" of PHP running without
actually having to compile separate binaries for different goals.

Reproduce code:
---------------
n/a

Expected result:
----------------
n/a

Actual result:
--------------
n/a
