I replaced it with a multiplication overflow check in
18599f9c52. However, we need both,
because the code for restoring the number can't handle numbers
with many leading zeros right now and I don't feel like teaching it.
`mb_encode_numericentity()` and `mb_decode_numericentity()` accepted
arbitrary zvals as `$convmap`, but ignored anything else than arrays.
This appears to be an unresolved relict of their ZPP conversion for
PHP 5.3[1]. We now expect an array in the first place.
We also expect `count($convmap)` to be a multiple of four (else we
throw a `ValueError`), and do no longer special case empty `$convmap`.
