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.
Albeit CSV is still a widespread data exchange format, it has never been
officially standardized. There exists, however, the “informational” RFC
4180[1] which has no notion of escape characters, but rather defines
`escaped` as strings enclosed in double-quotes where contained
double-quotes have to be doubled. While this concept is supported by
PHP's implementation (`$enclosure`), the `$escape` sometimes interferes,
so that `fgetcsv()` is unable to correctly parse externally generated
CSV, and `fputcsv()` is sometimes generating non-compliant CSV. Since
PHP's `$escape` concept is availble for many years, we cannot drop it
for BC reasons (even though many consider it as bug). Instead we allow
to pass an empty string as `$escape` parameter to the respective
functions, which results in ignoring/omitting any escaping, and as such
is more inline with RFC 4180. It is noteworthy that this is almost no
userland BC break, since formerly most functions did not accept an empty
string, and failed in this case. The only exception was `str_getcsv()`
which did accept an empty string, and used a backslash as escape
character then (which appears to be unintended behavior, anyway).
The changed functions are `fputcsv()`, `fgetcsv()` and `str_getcsv()`,
and also the `::setCsvControl()`, `::getCsvControl()`, `::fputcsv()`,
and `::fgetcsv()` methods of `SplFileObject`.
The implementation also changes the type of the escape parameter of the
PHP_APIs `php_fgetcsv()` and `php_fputcsv()` from `char` to `int`, where
`PHP_CSV_NO_ESCAPE` means to ignore/omit escaping. The parameter
accepts the same values as `isalpha()` and friends, i.e. “the value of
which shall be representable as an `unsigned char` or shall equal the
value of the macro `EOF`. If the argument has any other value, the
behavior is undefined.” This is a subtle BC break, since the character
`chr(128)` has the value `-1` if `char` is signed, and so likely would
be confused with `EOF` when converted to `int`. We consider this BC
break to be acceptable, since it's rather unlikely that anybody uses
`chr(128)` as escape character, and it easily can be fixed by casting
all `escape` arguments to `unsigned char`.
This patch implements the feature requests 38301[2] and 51496[3].

The $Id$ keywords were used in Subversion where they can be substituted
with filename, last revision number change, last changed date, and last
user who changed it.
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
they are not used anymore.
Those values are used in various call (including zpp) where
a size_t is expected.

[DOC]
To avoid breaking how existing code works a new constant is introduced for
the RecursiveDirectoryIterator() that directs the code to follow symlinks.
This constant RecursiveDirectoryIterator::FOLLOW_SYMLINKS can be passed a
flag to the constructor to trigger symlink following.

# Class FilesystemIterator was introduced to have a better DirectoryIterator
# without having to change DirectoryIterator or RecursiveDirectoryIterator.
# On top of FilterIterator the new GlobIterator was introduced. This one allows
# to implement Countable(). But a glob stream flattens all structure, so it
# cannot be derived from RedursiveIterator. With the new structure all children
# of FilesystemIterator have nearly the same behavior. Just their capabilities
# are a bit different. Check out new inheritance tree on SplFileInfo:
