Basic handling of recursions
When PHP serializes objects it detects recursions and marks them accordingly in the serialization (tokens r and R for recursion by reference) the references objects get an integer-based number to identify them later during the deserialization.
Example
O:8:"stdClass":1:{s:8:"subClass";R:1;}
This PR adds very basic support for those recursions. It is able to unserialize strings containing these recursions and will not throw an exception.
During the unserialization it acts similar to PHP's print_r() / var_dump() functions and will return a string like *RECURSION* reference #1 in the specific field.
