Fix news2html truncation

If there are NEWS entries referring to a certain PHP version, these are
interpreted as belonging to that PHP version. Since the lines actually
delimiting PHP versions are supposed to have comma after the date, we
enforce that now.

Closes GH-730.

Fix: Avoid generating code without space between comma and function argument

Closes GH-650.

Multiple micro-optimizations

* Replace `ob_get_contents();ob_clean()` with `ob_get_clean()`

`ob_get_clean()` is equivalent to `ob_get_contents()` followed by `ob_clean()`.

Multiple micro-optimizations

* Replace `ob_get_contents();ob_clean()` with `ob_get_clean()`

`ob_get_clean()` is equivalent to `ob_get_contents()` followed by `ob_clean()`.

* Replace `intval()` calls with `(int)` type cast

This is a micro-optimization because `intval()` is a function call, and the type cast is about 6 times fast.

* Replace `preg_replace` call that could be done with an `rtrim()` call

In `./error.php`, there is a `preg_replace('!/+$!', '', $URI);` call that essentially is equivalent to `rtrim()`, that both calls removing trailing slash characters in `$URI`.
The `rtim()` call is more legible and faster.

* Combine consecutive `str_replace` calls to a single `str_replace` call

* Use short ternary operator where possible

Improves code readability.

* Cascade various `else` statements where possible

Cleans up the code by removing unnecessary `else` blocks and moving the code to the parent context if the previous `if` block exits the function by either terminating the script, or with a `return` statement.

* Combine multiple `isset()` calls to a single `isset()`

`isset()` accepts multiple parameters and returns `true` only if all of the parameters are `isset`. It makes sense to combine multiple individual `isset` calls to a single call for better readability.

* Replace `for` loop with a `foreach` loop

* Remove unnecessary character escapes in regular expressions

Regular expression special characters are context-sensitive. For example, special characters such as `.` are not considered special within square braces (`[]`).
This removes several of such instances that certain characters are escaped, but it is not strictly necessary within the context. This improves the readability of the expression.

See more information at [PHP.Watch: Writing better Regular Expressions in PHP](https://php.watch/articles/php-regex-readability#reduce-escape)

* Remove unnecessary break statement

* Remove unnecessary PHP close tags

* Remove redundant JSON_ERROR_NONE check

Remove unnecessary `json_last_error() == JSON_ERROR_NONE` where the decoded object is inspected already.

Closes GH-603.

Change <a name="..."> to <a id="...">

PhpStorm flagged @name as a deprecated HTML attribute, so it seemed appropriate to change then to @id. In cases where there were both a @name and @id attribute and their values were the same, this commit removes the @name attribute (there were no cases where both @name and @id attributes existed but having different values.)

Closes GH-416.
