Summary: There is an ability to create instance of Generator
by hand

@laruence: Imho `new Foo($bar)` and `(new
ReflectionClass('Foo'))->newInstance($bar)` should behave the same. So if the
constructor throws a fatal error then the constructor invoked through
reflection should also throw a fatal error.
If reflection doesn't go through get_constructor then it won't work correctly
if that handler is overloaded. It just works so well right now because nearly
noone overrides get_constructor.

@nikic, after a digging, I think it's better to make a private constructor for
generators. here is the reason:
refelction_class->newInstance used to throw exception while the constructor is
non-public..
if change to get_constructor, boom~ FATAL ERROR.

Looks like a bug in Reflection. It should get the constructor through the
`get_constructor` handler, not from the class property.

Description:
------------
Generator is an internal class, so there shouldn't be an ability to create it
by hand. However, the Generator class doesn't have a private constructor and
instance of it can be created via ReflectionClass.
Solution: add a private constructor for this class to prevent instantiation
(like for Closure class).
Test script:
---------------
$reflection = new ReflectionClass('Generator');
$generator = $reflection->newInstance();
var_dump($generator);
Expected result:
----------------
Expected ReflectionException that restricts an object instantiation.
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ReflectionException' with message 'Access to
non-public constructor of class Generator'
Actual result:
--------------
Generator object created:
object(Generator)#2 (0) { }
