Take order of candidate encodings into account when guessing text encoding

Take order of candidate encodings into account when guessing text encoding

The documentation for mb_detect_encoding says that this function
"Detects the most likely character encoding for string `string` from an
ordered list of candidates".

Prior to 28b346bc06, mb_detect_encoding did not really attempt to
determine the "most likely" text encoding for the input string. It
would just return the first candidate encoding for which the string was
valid. In 28b346bc06, I amended this function so that it uses heuristics
to try to guess which candidate encoding is "most likely".

However, the caller did not have any way to indicate which candidate
text encoding(s) they consider to be more likely, in case the
heuristics applied are inconclusive. In the language of Bayesian
probability, there was no way for the caller to indicate their 'prior'
assignment of probabilities.

Further, the documentation for mb_detect_encoding also says that the
second parameter `encodings` is "a list of character encodings to try,
in order". The documentation clearly implies that the order of
the `encodings` argument should be significant.

Therefore, amend mb_detect_encoding so that while it still uses
heuristics to guess the most likely text encoding for the input string,
it favors those which are earlier in the list of candidate encodings.

One complication is that many callers of mb_detect_encoding use it
in this way:

mb_detect_encoding($string, mb_list_encodings());

In a majority of cases, this is bad code; mb_detect_encoding will both
be much slower and the results will be less reliable than if a smaller
list of candidates is used. However, since such code already exists and
people are using it in production, we should not unnecessarily break it.
The order of candidate encodings obviously does not express any prior
belief of which candidates are more likely in this case, and treating
it as if it did will degrade the accuracy of the result.

Since mb_list_encodings now returns a single, immutable array on each
call, we can avoid that problem by turning off the new behavior when
we receive the array of encodings returned by mb_list_encodings.
This implementation means that if the user does this:

$a = mb_list_encodings();
mb_detect_encoding($string, $a);

...then the order of candidate encodings will not be considered.
However, if the user explicitly initializes their own array of all
supported legacy text encodings, then the order *will* be considered.

The other functions which also follow this new behavior are:

• mb_convert_variables
• mb_convert_encoding (when multiple candidate input encodings are
listed)

Other places where "detection" (or really "guessing") of text encoding
may be performed include:

• mb_send_mail
• Zend engine, when determining the encoding of a PHP script
• mbstring processing of HTTP request contents, when http_input INI
parameter is set to a list

In these cases, the new logic based on order of candidate encodings
is *not* enabled. It *might* be logical to consider the order of
candidate encodings in some or all of these cases, but I'm not sure if
that is true, so it seems wiser to avoid more behavior changes than is
necessary. Further, ever since the new encoding detection heuristics
were implemented in 28b346bc06, we have not received any complaints of
user code being broken in these areas. So I am reluctant to "fix what
isn't broken".

Well, some might say that applying the new detection heuristics
to mb_send_mail, etc. in 28b346bc06 was "fixing what wasn't broken",
but (cough cough) I don't have any comment on that...

For mb_parse_str, when mbstring.http_input (INI parameter) is a list of
multiple possible text encodings (which is not the case by default),
this new implementation is about 25% faster.

When mbstring.http_input is a single value, then nothing is changed.
(No automatic encoding detection is done in that case.)

Remove redundant includes from mbstring (and make sure correct config.h is used)

Very interesting... it turns out that when Valgrind support was enabled,
`#include "config.h"` from within mbstring was actually including the file "config.h"
from Valgrind, and not the one from mbstring!!

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

Remove local variables

This patch removes the so called local variables defined per
file basis for certain editors to properly show tab width, and
similar settings. These are mainly used by Vim and Emacs editors
yet with recent changes the once working definitions don't work
anymore in Vim without custom plugins or additional configuration.
Neither are these settings synced across the PHP code base.

A simpler and better approach is EditorConfig and fixing code
using some code style fixing tools in the future instead.

This patch also removes the so called modelines for Vim. Modelines
allow Vim editor specifically to set some editor configuration such as
syntax highlighting, indentation style and tab width to be set in the
first line or the last 5 lines per file basis. Since the php test
files have syntax highlighting already set in most editors properly and
EditorConfig takes care of the indentation settings, this patch removes
these as well for the Vim 6.0 and newer versions.

With the removal of local variables for certain editors such as
Emacs and Vim, the footer is also probably not needed anymore when
creating extensions using ext_skel.php script.

Additionally, Vim modelines for setting php syntax and some editor
settings has been removed from some *.phpt files. All these are
mostly not relevant for phpt files neither work properly in the
middle of the file.

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.

In Git this functionality is different and can be done with Git attribute
ident. These need to be defined manually for each file in the
.gitattributes file and are afterwards replaced with 40-character
hexadecimal blob object name which is based only on the particular file
contents.

This patch simplifies handling of $Id$ keywords by removing them since
