We missed the change to make this an Error exception in PHP 8,
but at least elevate it to a warning, to avoid a notice -> exception
jump at a later time.
Previously zend_parse_parameters (and FastZPP) would handle invalid
arguments depending on strict_types: With strict_types=1, a TypeError
is thrown, with strict_types=0 a warning is thrown and (usually) NULL
is returned. Additionally, some functions (constructors always and
other methods sometimes) opt-it to throwing regardless of strict_types.
This commit changes zpp to always generate a TypeError exception in
PHP 8.
The only remaining case-insensitive constants are null, true and
false, which are handled explicitly.
In the future we may convert them from constants to reserved keywords.
PHP requires boolean typehints to be written "bool" and disallows
"boolean" as an alias. This changes the error messages to match
the actual type name and avoids confusing messages like "must be
of type boolean, boolean given".
This a followup to ce1d69a1f6, which
implements the same change for integer->int.
