pcov and xdebug errors about c3 HOT 3 CLOSED

win10 env with xdebug update:
found 2 issues that I fixed.
First one was that if in codeception.yml config file in the include section includes are declared like this:

        - backend/*
        - common/*
        - console/*

Then every single file type is on the while list, so even docx, rtf, txt, ect will be passed to the coverage, which then will show up in the c3tmp/codecoverage.serialized file, although the driver can't process it and will throw errors. Fixed it with better filtering:

        - backend/*.php
        - common/*.php
        - console/*.php

Second issue I found was Yii2 related to global constants.
YII_APP_BASE_PATH was used in the config file that was used for testing. For regular, sharder, anything but coverage test execution the constant returned with the git project root folder, which is one level above the yii path folder. For coverage tests execution this contained the yii installation path. Solved with replacing it with relative path: dirname(DIR)

After these fixes the tests are passing for local win10 with xdebug the tests were passing even with coverage option, but then I got different type of error:

  [UnexpectedValueException]
  internal corruption of phar "C:\Users\Synida\AppData\Local\Temp\C31EF7.tmp.tar" (__HALT_COMPILER(); not found)

win10 local with xdebug;
changing remote: true to remote: false solves the issue, investigating the ci environment.

it was access permission issue on the output folder, which had 755, but c3 requires 777. Even tho the user has the permission to change the folder and file permission for these files, it just crashed - got no error message on the server and no response was available during testing. This was the linux environment.
