According to the “Deprecate and remove INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_2003” RFC[1],
we change the default of the $variant parameter of `idn_to_ascii()` and
`idn_to_utf8()` from `INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_2003` to
`INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46`.

Given that ICU is a set of lively developed libraries, that ICU 50.1
has been released on 2012-11-05, and PHP 7.4 is scheduled to be
released seven years after it, we consider it appropriate to ditch
these legacy versions.
Particularly, that would be a reasonable groundwork to implement part
two of the “Deprecate and remove INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_2003” RFC[1], namely
to default idn_to_ascii()'s and idn_to_utf8()'s $variant parameter to
INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46, which is not defined in ICU < 4.6.

As stated by RFC 5890, U-Labels might be up to 252 Unicode code points
long. This can be fixed in 7.1+ as well, but there might potentially be
issues in some existing apps expecting the output to be max 255 octets
long. Thus it seems to be safer to not to touch stable branches.
Before this change, var_export()'s output for stdClass objects calls
the non-existent stdClass::__set_state method, and is therefore useless.
This commit makes var_export() output an (object) cast from an array
instead, which when evaluated, will produce a stdClass object. Other
classes see unchanged output.
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.
PHP requires integer typehints to be written "int" and does not
allow "integer" as an alias. This changes type error messages to
match the actual type name and avoids confusing messages like
"must be of the type integer, integer given".
convert_scalar_to_number() will now call cast_object() with an
_IS_NUMBER argument, in which case the cast handler should return
either an integer or floating point number, whichever is more
appropriate.
Previously convert_scalar_to_number() unconditionally converted
objects to integers instead.
