`mb_encode_numericentity()` and `mb_decode_numericentity()` accepted
arbitrary zvals as `$convmap`, but ignored anything else than arrays.
This appears to be an unresolved relict of their ZPP conversion for
PHP 5.3[1]. We now expect an array in the first place.
We also expect `count($convmap)` to be a multiple of four (else we
throw a `ValueError`), and do no longer special case empty `$convmap`.

This is very similar to the existing mbstring.regex_stack_limit,
but for backtracking. The default value matches pcre.backtrack_limit.
Only used on libonig >= 2.8.0.
mb_decode_numericentity() accepts a fourth optional parameter, which is
unused, however. Since this parameter doesn't do any harm, and to avoid
the small BC break, we're keeping this parameter for PHP 7, but adjust
the arginfo.
For PHP 8, we will remove this parameter.

And convert some object to string conversion related recoverable
fatal errors into Error exceptions.
Improve exception safety of internal code performing string
conversions.
By introducing a hook that is called whenever one of
internal_encoding / input_encoding / output_encoding changes, so
that mbstring can adjust it's internal state.
This also makes internal_encoding work with zend multibyte.
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.
