ArrayAccess proxy for request globals ($_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE)

Transparently proxies array access to PSR-7 ServerRequest methods, enabling fiber-safe concurrent request handling without code changes.

Traditional PHP behavior:

$id = $_GET['id'];           // Direct superglobal access
$name = $_POST['name'];      // Process-wide variables

With RequestGlobalProxy:

$_GET = new RequestGlobalProxy('query');     // Install once at startup
$_POST = new RequestGlobalProxy('post');

// User code unchanged - transparently uses current request
$id = $_GET['id'];           // → gets from current ServerRequest
$name = $_POST['name'];      // → gets from current ServerRequest

Benefits:

• Zero code changes needed - existing $_GET['id'] works unchanged
• Fiber-safe by default - each fiber gets its own request context
• Works with all SAPIs (FPM, CGI, mod_php, Swoole, ReactPHP, phasync)
• Consistent architecture - no special adapters needed

Limitations:

• Cannot modify request globals ($_GET['x'] = 'y' throws exception)
• Use PSR-7 withQueryParams() to modify request instead
• is_array($_GET) returns false (use isset(), array access works fine)
