ReflectionMethod::__construct() overwrote intern->ptr without releasing the previous Closure::__invoke() trampoline, and ReflectionClassConstant::__construct() overwrote the $name and $class slots without dropping their previous references. ReflectionFunction, ReflectionParameter and ReflectionProperty already release prior state on re-entry. Closes phpGH-22968

ReflectionMethod::__construct()overwrites intern->ptr without releasing the previous value. When the reflected method is Closure::__invoke() that value is a trampoline allocated byzend_get_closure_invoke_method(), so every re-construct leaks one. ReflectionClassConstant::__construct() has the same shape for the $name and $class property slots and leaks a string reference whenever the constant name is not interned. ReflectionFunction, ReflectionParameter and ReflectionProperty already release prior state on re-entry.
