mysqli_change_user does not allow to use NULL for $database param

Description

According to the documentation, the third parameter in mysqli_change_user is nullable (not optional though) and passing NULL should connect to the same database.

If desired, the null value may be passed resulting in only changing the user and not selecting a database. To select a database in this case use the mysqli_select_db() function.

But to my knowledge this was never possible and is still not supported by mysqli. This code will reset database to NULL

$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "test");
$mysqli->change_user("my_user", "my_password", null);
var_dump($mysqli->query("SELECT DATABASE()")->fetch_row()[0]);

Resulted in this output:

NULL

But I expected this output instead:

string(4) "test"

No response

Start from the mysqli_change_user entry point and compare the documented NULL behavior with the supplied PHP reproduction. Done means passing NULL preserves the existing database selection, with the reproduction confirming that SELECT DATABASE() still returns "test".
