For UTF-7, flag unnecessary extra trailing byte in Base64 section as error This bug was found when I was fuzzing a patch related to mb_strpos. In some cases, the legacy text conversion code for UTF-7 (and UTF7-IMAP) would correctly recognize an error for a Base64-encoded section which was not correctly padded with zero bits, but the new (and faster) text conversion code would not. Specifically, if the input string ended abruptly after the 4th or 7th byte of a Base64-encoded section, the new conversion code would confirm that the trailing padding bits from the previous byte (3rd or 6th) were zeroes, but would not check whether the 4th or 7th byte itself encoded any non-zero bits. The legacy conversion code did perform this check and would treat the input string as invalid. Actually, even if the 4th or 7th byte does encode only (padding) zero bits, this is still a problem, because there is no reason to have a 4th (or 7th) byte in that case. The UTF-7 string should have ended on the previous byte instead. Apply the same fix for both UTF-7 and UTF7-IMAP.

Implement fast text conversion interface for UTF7-IMAP The old code would convert a 0x00 byte in the input to 0x00 in the output, but this clearly violates the RFC which defines UTF7-IMA

mbstring no longer provides 'long' substitutions for erroneous input bytes Previously, mbstring had a special mode whereby it would convert erroneous input byte sequences to output like "BAD+XXXX", where "XXXX" would be the erroneous bytes expressed in hexadecimal. This mode could be enabled by calling `mb_substitute_character("long")`. However, accurately reproducing input byte sequences from the cached state of a conversion filter is often tricky, and this significantly complicates the implementation. Further, the means used for passing the erroneous bytes through to where the "BAD+XXXX" text is generated only allows for up to 3 bytes to be passed, meaning that some erroneous byte sequences are truncated anyways. More to the point, a search of publically available PHP code indicates that nobody is really using this feature anyways. Incidentally, this feature also provided error output like "JIS+XXXX" if the input 'should have' represented a JISX 0208 codepoint, but it decodes to a codepoint which does not exist in the JISX 0208 charset. Similarly, specific error output was provided for non-existent JISX 0212 codepoints, and likewise for JISX 0213, CP932, and a few other charsets. All of that is now consigned to the flames. However, "long" error markers also include a somewhat more useful "U+XXXX" marker for Unicode codepoints which were successfully decoded from the input text, but cannot be represented in the output encoding. Those are still supported. With this change, there is no need to use a variety of special values in the high bits of a wchar to represent different types of error values. We can (and will) just use a single error value. This will be equal to -1. One complicating factor: Text conversion functions return an integer to indicate whether the conversion operation should be immediately aborted, and the magic 'abort' marker is -1. Also, almost all of these functions would return the received byte/codepoint to indicate success. That doesn't work with the new error value; if an input filter detects an error and passes -1 to the output filter, and the output filter returns it back, that would be taken to mean 'abort'. Therefore, amend all these functions to return 0 for success.

Test behavior of 'long' illegal character markers After mb_substitute_character("long"), mbstring will respond to erroneous input by inserting 'long' error markers into the output. Depending on the situation, these error markers will either look like BAD+XXXX (for general bad input), U+XXXX (when the input is OK, but it converts to Unicode codepoints which cannot be represented in the output encoding), or an encoding-specific marker like JISX+XXXX or W932+XXXX. We have almost no tests for this feature. Add a bunch of tests to ensure that all our legacy encoding handlers work in a reasonable way when 'long' error markers are enabled.
