* 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.

* 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.

With this diff, version.inc will ONLY export one "variable" named
$RELEASES which will continue to have the same format as previous.
It will also export a helper method named release_get_latest()
for quickly accessing the most recent version published.
All other globals previously exported by this function are
no longer used on web-php.
The php.net/reST pages once served some source code files. It has been
removed via 74bc9e6ad7 in 2013 so these
redirections are most likely not relevant anymore for PHP.net audience.
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.
