Make extension checks lowercase, add a special case for opcache
that has internal name not matching .so filename.
Extensions migrated in part 2:
* dom
* exif
* fileinfo
* ffi
This deprecates passing null to non-nullable scale arguments of
internal functions, with the eventual goal of making the behavior
consistent with userland functions, where null is never accepted
for non-nullable arguments.
This change is expected to cause quite a lot of fallout. In most
cases, calling code should be adjusted to avoid passing null. In
some cases, PHP should be adjusted to make some function arguments
nullable. I have already fixed a number of functions before landing
this, but feel free to file a bug if you encounter a function that
doesn't accept null, but probably should. (The rule of thumb for
this to be applicable is that the function must have special behavior
for 0 or "", which is distinct from the natural behavior of the
parameter.)

Closes GH-6475.
Not all extensions consistently throw exceptions when the user passes
a path name containing null bytes. Also, some extensions would throw
a ValueError while others would throw a TypeError. Error messages
also varied.
Now a ValueError is thrown after all failed path checks, at least for
as far as these occur in functions that are exposed to userland.
Closes GH-6216.
