PHP Bug Type:     Session related
Bug description:  Default save.session_path and mm_create() warning

Description:
------------
php -n throws a warning:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: mm_create(0, /session_mm_cli1000) failed, err
mm:core: failed to open semaphore file (Permission denied) in Unknown on
line 0

Expected result:
----------------
This bug was previously submitted as #49401. Despite marked bogus it can
be very annoying and also it doesn't seem logical to make the default
built-in configuration to throw a warning on most/all the platforms.

I also did some investigation on that libmm used by PHP session extension
and found that creating the semaphore file is not a must on many platforms
but it is kind of recommended and fail-safe way. I don't see any big
trouble if libmm's semaphores are created in $TMP or /tmp directory instead
of "blank" - at least it will make PHP _safer_ on many platforms without
adding much risks. Of course the best way imho will be to make some
./configure switch for setting default session.save_path value or smth like
that.
