Remove null byte from anonymous class name

[jorgsowa]

Description

I suggest removing the null byte from an anonymous class name, which can be visible in stack traces. Precisely, it's about this line: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/Zend/zend_compile.c#L9024

It causes problems in observability and testing, and requires workarounds. Example I found:

• Multiply/paratest@e8f9cd4
• Consider stripping null byte in frame name brendangregg/FlameGraph#280
• Remove NULL byte from class names, which cause problems when using phpdbg nette/tester#450

The change is trivial, but it would be BC break.

I solved at least some printing related issues (including one in phpdbg) regarding nul bytes in php errors/warnings. If you have a more concrete example of where this is still not done, please share it; otherwise this seems like a needless BC break to me.

It's in the exception stack trace.

class Test {
}

try {
    $test = new class() extends Test {
        public function run()
        {
            throw new Exception();
        }
    };
    $test->run();
} catch (Throwable $e) {
    var_dump($e->getTrace());
}

And the result:

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(6) {
    ["file"]=>
    string(92) "/path/scratch_2.php"
    ["line"]=>
    int(13)
    ["function"]=>
    string(3) "run"
    ["class"]=>
    string(111) "Test@anonymous�/path/scratch_2.php:7$0"
    ["type"]=>
    string(2) "->"
    ["args"]=>
    array(0) {
    }
  }
}

Indeed it's in the backtrace, but it's printed out properly.
