Peter Kokot dd8d8bf863 Sync final and leading newlines
This patch adds some missing newlines, trims some multiple redundant
final newlines into a single one, and trims few redundant leading
newlines.

According to POSIX, a line is a sequence of zero or more non-'<newline>'
characters plus a terminating '<newline>' character. [1] Files should
normally have at least one final newline character.

C89 [2] and later standards [3] mention a final newline:
"A source file that is not empty shall end in a new-line character,
which shall not be immediately preceded by a backslash character."

Although it is not mandatory for all files to have a final newline
fixed, a more consistent and homogeneous approach brings less of commit
differences issues and a better development experience in certain text
editors and IDEs.

<h2>PHP Contributor Guidelines for Code Developers</h2>
<p>
Before you complete the form to request a Git account, you must understand and accept the principles under which PHP
itself is developed. These are summarised in the next paragraph.
</p>
<p>
Any code contributed to PHP must be contributed under the PHP license (or a compatible BSD-style license).
PHP will be redistributed under the PHP license (currently
<a href="http://www.php.net/license/3_01.txt">version 3.01</a>).
This includes implementation code, test cases, utility scripts and tools - that is, all code associated
with the PHP project. If you contribute code that isn't entirely your own
(for example it may be partially derived from other Open Source software) you are asked to add a comment
into the source code to indicate the origin and the license of the original code.
If you are unsure of the license you are asked to confirm with the owner of the code that they are
happy for it to be contributed to PHP under the PHP license.
</p>
<p>
Specifically regarding GPL and LGPL source code:
</p>
<ul>
<li>GPL or LGPL licensed code cannot be used as a basis for any derived work contributed to PHP.</li>
<li>Extensions which link GPL'd libraries will not be accepted.</li>
<li>Extensions which link to LGPL libraries will be strongly discouraged.</li>
</ul>
