Add fast mb_strcut implementation for UTF-8

The old implementation runs through the entire string to pick out the
part which should be returned by mb_strcut. This creates significant
performance overhead. The new specialized implementation of mb_strcut
for UTF-8 usually only examines a few bytes around the starting and
ending cut points, meaning it generally runs in constant time.

For UTF-8 strings just a few bytes long, the new implementation is
around 10% faster (according to microbenchmarks which I ran locally).
For strings around 10,000 bytes in length, it is 50-300x faster.
(Yes, that is 300x and not 300%.)

The new implementation behaves identically to the old one on VALID
UTF-8 strings; a fuzzer was used to help ensure this is the case.
On invalid UTF-8 strings, there is a difference: in some cases, the
old implementation will pass invalid byte sequences through unchanged,
while in others it will remove them. The new implementation has
behavior which is perhaps slightly more predictable: it simply backs
up the starting and ending cut points to the preceding "starter
byte" (one which is not a UTF-8 continuation byte).

Fix phpGH-10648: add check function pointer into mbfl_encoding

Previously, mbstring used the same logic for encoding validation as for
encoding conversion.

However, there are cases where we want to use different logic for validation
and conversion. For example, if a string ends up with missing input
required by the encoding, or if a character is input that is invalid
as an encoding but can be converted, the conversion should succeed and
the validation should fail.

To achieve this, a function pointer mb_check_fn has been added to
struct mbfl_encoding to implement the logic used for validation.
Also, added implementation of validation logic for UTF-7, UTF7-IMAP,
ISO-2022-JP and JIS.

(The same change has already been made to PHP 8.2 and 8.3; see
6fc8d014df. This commit is backporting the change to PHP 8.1.)

Propagate error checks for mbfl_filt_conv_illegal_output()

Legacy conversion code for '7bit' to '8bit' inserts error markers

Legacy conversion code for '7bit' to '8bit' inserts error markers

The use of a special 'vtbl' for converting between '7bit' and
'8bit' text meant that '7bit' text would not be converted to
wchars before going to '8bit'. This meant that the special
value MBFL_BAD_INPUT, which we use to flag an erroneous byte
sequence in input text (and which is required by functions
like mb_check_encoding), would pass directly to the output,
instead of being converted to the error marker specified
by mb_substitute_character.

This issue dates back to the time when I removed the mbfl
'identify filters' and made encoding validity checking and
encoding detection rely only on the conversion filters.

New internal interface for fast text conversion in mbstring

New internal interface for fast text conversion in mbstring

When converting text to/from wchars, mbstring makes one function call
for each and every byte or wchar to be converted. Typically, each of
these conversion functions contains a state machine, and its state has
to be restored and then saved for every single one of these calls.
It doesn't take much to see that this is grossly inefficient.

Instead of converting one byte or wchar on each call, the new
conversion functions will either fill up or drain a whole buffer of
wchars on each call. In benchmarks, this is about 3-10× faster.

Adding the new, faster conversion functions for all supported legacy
text encodings still needs some work. Also, all the code which uses
the old-style conversion functions needs to be converted to use the
new ones. After that, the old code can be dropped. (The mailparse
extension will also have to be fixed up so it will still compile.)

mbstring no longer provides 'long' substitutions for erroneous input bytes

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.

Remove mbstring identify filters

mbstring had an 'identify filter' for almost every supported text encoding
which was used when auto-detecting the most likely encoding for a string.
It would run over the string and set a 'flag' if it saw anything which
did not appear likely to be the encoding in question.

One problem with this scheme was that encodings which merely appeared
less likely to be the correct one were completely rejected, even if there
was no better candidate. Another problem was that the 'identify filters'
had a huge amount of code duplication with the 'conversion filters'.

Eliminate the identify filters. Instead, when auto-detecting text
encoding, use conversion filters to see whether the input string is valid
in candidate encodings or not. At the same type, watch the type of
codepoints which the string decodes to and mark it as less likely if
non-printable characters (ESC, form feed, bell, etc.) or 'private use
area' codepoints are seen.

Interestingly, one old test case in which JIS text was misidentified
as UTF-8 (and this wrong behavior was enshrined in the test) was 'fixed'
and the JIS string is now auto-detected as JIS.

Very interesting... it turns out that when Valgrind support was enabled,

This is because -I/usr/include/valgrind was added to the compiler invocation _before_

Sync leading and final newlines in source code files

This patch adds missing newlines, trims multiple redundant final
newlines into a single one, and trims redundant leading newlines.

According to POSIX, a line is a sequence of zero or more non-' <newline>'
characters plus a terminating '<newline>' character. [1] Files should
normally have at least one final newline character.

C89 [2] and later standards [3] mention a final newline:
"A source file that is not empty shall end in a new-line character,
which shall not be immediately preceded by a backslash character."

Although it is not mandatory for all files to have a final newline
fixed, a more consistent and homogeneous approach brings less of commit
differences issues and a better development experience in certain text
editors and IDEs.
