Bug description:  Open arbitrary file descriptor with fopen

Description:
------------
On some operating systems (BSD?) it is possible to open a arbitrary file
descriptor with fopen like this:
fopen("/dev/fd/<fd>", "r");
But on at least Linux this fails. So here is patch that makes it possible
to open fd:s by useing fopen("php://<fd>", "r").

in ext/standard/php_fopen_wrapper.c:php_stream_url_wrap_php add two
lines:
 } else if (!strcasecmp(path, "stderr")) {
      fd = STDERR_FILENO;
+} else
+     fd = atoi(path);

Maybe some checks are needed.
