Christoph M. Becker 3f3e914df3 Implement #67331: Have parse_ini_file add empty entries
Some INI processors allow to specify empty values by just giving the
key without the equals sign, for instance MySQL and Python.  It appears
to be sensible to add this possibility to our INI parser, so that it
can be used for such INI files as well.  We choose NULL as the value of
empty values.

This syntactical enhancement is a (minor) BC break, though, as can be
seen by the necessary change to bug49692.ini.  The “comment” formerly
has been simply ignored, but now it would be parsed as key with an
empty value.

This PR is based on Adam's former patch.

1. Backward Incompatible Changes
========================================

. The default parameter value of idn_to_ascii() and idn_to_utf8() is now
INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46 instead of the deprecated INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_2003.

9. Other Changes to Extensions
========================================
- Intl:
. The Intl extension now requires at least ICU 50.1.
- Reflection:
. Numeric value of class, property, function and constant modifiers was
changed. Don't filter methods and properties through
ReflectionClass::getMethods() and ReflectionClass::getProperties(), or test
results of Reflection...::getModifiers(), using hard-coded numeric values.
Use corresponding constants instead (e.g. ReflectionMethod::IS_PUBLIC).
========================================
10. New Global Constants
========================================
========================================
11. Changes to INI File Handling
========================================
- General:
. Keys without values can now omit the equals sign, in which case they are
parsed as NULL instead of an empty string.
