Bug description:  Server variables to exist globally w/ register_globals = off

In short, when register_globals = off, server variables would/should
continue to register globally.  Variables such as:

  $PHP_SELF, $DOCUMENT_ROOT, $REMOTE_ADDR, etc.

As currently they do not.  And on a sidenote, the current docs imply that
server variables always exist, regardless of setting.  Some possible
options:

a) Create a new config setting, such as register_server_globals or
register_predefined_globals
b) Make register_globals allow for individual EGPCS settings (default to
S)
c) Make server variables always exist, like track_vars do now.
d) ...

This will help ease the register_globals = off transition as well as cause
a lot less "4.2.0 BROKE PHP!!!" emails.  But most importantly, this will
be useful.
