Return value of mb_get_info can be NULL

This has been the case at least since PHP 5.4. Thanks to Girgias for
pointing it out.

It appears that there are several global variables internal to mbstring
which can be queried via mb_get_info() and which could be NULL, but
at the very least, we know that "mbstring.http_input" is one of them.

Normalize mb_ereg() return value

mb_ereg()/mb_eregi() currently have an inconsistent return value
based on whether the $matches parameter is passed or not:

> Returns the byte length of the matched string if a match for
> pattern was found in string, or FALSE if no matches were found
> or an error occurred.
>
> If the optional parameter regs was not passed or the length of
> the matched string is 0, this function returns 1.

Coupling this behavior to the $matches parameter doesn't make sense
-- we know the match length either way, there is no technical
reason to distinguish them. However, returning the match length
is not particularly useful either, especially due to the need to
convert 0-length into 1-length to satisfy "truthy" checks. We
could always return 1, which would kind of match the behavior of
preg_match() -- however, preg_match() actually returns the number
of matches, which is 0 or 1 for preg_match(), while false signals
an error. However, mb_ereg() returns false both for no match and
for an error. This would result in an odd 1|false return value.

The patch canonicalizes mb_ereg() to always return a boolean,
where true indicates a match and false indicates no match or error.
This also matches the behavior of the mb_ereg_match() and
mb_ereg_search() functions.

This fixes the default value integrity violation in PHP 8.

Closes GH-6331.
