PHP 7 testing issue [#2530640]

Problem/Motivation

In today (10 July 2015) critical issues discussions meeting we discussed that we should have a dedicated issue for PHP 7 testing so that we can track the Drupal 8 fails on PHP 7 and get them fixed or reported, in case it is a PHP 7 bug, as soon as possible.

Proposed resolution

Fix or report the fails in Drupal 8 and PHP7 at the same time

Remaining tasks

Get Drupal CI to test this issue on PHP 7

One important thing here, possibly compared to the other containers is that until a stable PHP 7 version is released, it is very important to frequently update it, once per week or so if possible, if not, at least when new alpha/beta versions are released. While working on the PHP7 issue, we frequently identify and fix (just today: https://twitter.com/berdir/status/619427152421851137) bugs in PHP7 itself and the test results won't be of much help without those fixes.
