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

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.)

Support Microsoft's "Best Fit" mappings for Windows-1252 text encoding

Support Microsoft's "Best Fit" mappings for Windows-1252 text encoding

In b5ff87ca71, I made a number of adjustments to our conversion code
for CP1252. One of the adjustments was to make the mappings match those
published by the Unicode Consortium in the file CP1252.TXT. These do
not include mappings for the CP1252 bytes 0x81, 0x8D, 0x8F, 0x90, and
0x9D.

Rostyslav Gulka reported that this caused a problem. His application
stores binary JPEG data in an MS-SQL database. When they SELECT the
binary data out of the database, it is treated as CP1252 text and
automatically converted to UTF-8. To recover the original binary
data, they then do a conversion from UTF-8 to CP1252.

Obviously, that does not work if certain CP1252 bytes do not map to
any Unicode codepoint at all.

While this is a very unusual application of text encoding conversion,
and we might choose not to support it if there was no other basis for
including those mappings, it seems that Microsoft does actually include
them in the Win32 API as "best fit" mappings. These are extra mappings
from Unicode to other text encodings, which the Win32 API function
WideCharToMultiByte uses by default unless the WC_NO_BEST_FIT_CHARS
flag was passed.

A list of these "best fit" mappings for CP1252 can be found here:

Fix legacy conversion filters for... almost all 8-bit text encodings

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

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.
