Bug description:Stream path cannot contail null char (chr(0))

Description:
------------
Stream path can contain any character, whether URL encoded or not, except
for the null character. Including a null character in the path raises the
following error:

file_get_contents() expects parameter 1 to be a valid path, string given

Both the use case and test suite to support the claims above can be found
at
https://github.com/Bilge/VerbatimStream/tree/eb185806f9bea3ee65b7d0f3e42dcd27a7b40614

The use case is a custom stream wrapper that takes the path and converts it
into a read-only data stream. The current workaround is to urlencode any
path that contains nulls. However, this approach provides little benefit
over the data wrapper. Being able to include nulls directly in the path
would eliminate unnecessary url encoding and decoding in the custom wrapper
implementation.


Test script:
---------------
file_get_contents("\000");

//or

file_get_contents("verbatim://\000");

Expected result:
----------------
No error.

Actual result:
--------------
file_get_contents() expects parameter 1 to be a valid path, string given
