gzfile and readgzfile no longer identify corrupted gzip data

Description

Using this (invalid) gzip file: corrupt.txt.gz for testing below.

Just for completion: this is what happens using zcat/gzip - it can't decode it and thinks it's encrypted. It's not, it's just garbage.

$ zcat corrupt.txt.gz
gzip: corrupt.txt.gz is encrypted -- not supported

The following code:

<?php
var_dump(gzfile("corrupt.txt.gz"));

Resulted in this output:

array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "x��	U"
  [1]=>
  string(6) "I-.��"
}

But I expected this output instead:

array(0) {
}

Running the same code with PHP < 8.5.3 (including 8.5.2) will result in the expected empty array.

The same issue exists when using readgzfile(): all older versions will return -1 while 8.5.3 returns binary data.

首先，在 PHP 8.5.2 和 8.5.3 上使用 gzfile() 和 readgzfile() 重现所提供的 corrupt.txt.gz 案例。跟踪这些函数使用的 gzip 处理过程，并将损坏数据的结果与预期的空数组和 -1 返回值进行比较；当两个函数都像之前一样拒绝无效流时，即表示完成。
