To remove the need to check (and throw an exception) if a class is instantiable if we know it is.
As those class_entries are known to be instantiable

This is an idea that kinda came up while working on #19797
In most cases when an extension calls
object_init_ex()it's instantiating one of its own classes, and thus it knows it is instantiable. Therefore, I propose to introduce a new API which skips the (albeit cheap) check.The secondary motivation is that I'm not fully certain I agree that it should be the task of
object_init_ex()to check if an object is instantiable. This is especially relevant for #19797 as I would like to have a single API to that checks that the CE is a concrete class, but also that the constructor is actually callable (i.e. public or within scope) prior to attempting to create the object.It is probably possible to convert more
object_init_ex()(especially those in ext/date) but those are not immediately obvious.
