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.)

In legacy text conversion filters, reset filter state in 'flush' function

Up until now, I believed that mbstring had been designed such
that (legacy) text conversion filter objects should not be
re-used after the 'flush' function is called to complete a
text conversion operation.

However, it turns out that the implementation of
_php_mb_encoding_handler_ex DID re-use filter objects
after flush. That means that functions which were based on
_php_mb_encoding_handler_ex, including mb_parse_str and
php_mb_post_handler, would break in some cases; state left
over from converting one substring (perhaps a variable name)
would affect the results of converting another substring
(perhaps the value of the same variable), and could cause
extraneous characters to get inserted into the output.

All this code should be deleted soon, but fixing it helps me
to avoid spurious failures when fuzzing the new/old code to
look for differences in behavior.

(This bug fix commit was originally applied to PHP-8.2 when fuzzing
the new mbstring text conversion code to check for differences with
the old code. Later, Kentaro Ohkouchi kindly reported a problem with
mb_encode_mimeheader under PHP 8.1 which was caused by the same issue.
Hence, this commit was backported to PHP-8.1.)

Fixes GH-9683.

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.

Combine MBFL_ENCTYPE_WCS{2,4}{BE,LE} constants

These flags identify text encodings in mbstring which use a constant number of
bytes per character. While some parts of the code do use these flags, usually
to detect cases which can be optimized due to constant-width encoding, nothing
cares whether the encodings are 'LE' (little-endian) or 'BE' (big-endian).

So we can simplify things by combining constants.

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.
