Description:
------------
Passing the file https://gist.github.com/nikic/5b7a55e6a100c3dedbfd1ac6837c74a9 to Phar::__construct() results in a memory leak:

    #0 0x4ef61d in malloc (/home/nikic/php-src-fuzz/sapi/fuzzer/php-fuzz-phar+0x4ef61d)
    #1 0x105d619 in __zend_malloc /home/nikic/php-src-fuzz/Zend/zend_alloc.c:2992:14
    #2 0xeca559 in zend_string_alloc /home/nikic/php-src-fuzz/Zend/zend_string.h:141:36
    #3 0xeca559 in zend_string_init /home/nikic/php-src-fuzz/Zend/zend_string.h:163:21
    #4 0xecf463 in php_var_unserialize_internal /home/nikic/php-src-fuzz/ext/standard/var_unserializer.re:953:3
    #5 0xeca8ca in php_var_unserialize /home/nikic/php-src-fuzz/ext/standard/var_unserializer.re:752:11
    #6 0xad234e in phar_parse_metadata /home/nikic/php-src-fuzz/ext/phar/phar.c:621:8
    #7 0xa74837 in phar_tar_process_metadata /home/nikic/php-src-fuzz/ext/phar/tar.c:176:6
    #8 0xa74837 in phar_parse_tarfile /home/nikic/php-src-fuzz/ext/phar/tar.c:512:19
    #9 0xad6fdd in phar_open_from_fp /home/nikic/php-src-fuzz/ext/phar/phar.c:1726:13
    #10 0xad4e48 in phar_create_or_parse_filename /home/nikic/php-src-fuzz/ext/phar/phar.c:1364:7

The cause is a duplicate .phar/.metadata.bin entry, where the second one overwrites the first without freeing. Probably we should be reporting an error instead.
