Warning: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting '}' in config.ini.php in libs/upgradephp/upgrade.php

This issue was reported by Jose Luis Zayas by email.

When config/config.ini.php contain value in the format: ${@piwik(c))} then parsing the Ini file will fail, as PHP tries to evaluate values. So PHP will try to read the variable @piwik(c) even though it does not exist.

Looking at parse_ini_file documentation I was delighted to see a third parameter meant to exactly solve this problem. life is good!

In fc2718d: refs #5409 #341 #5349 if a config value contains a dollar sign convert it to an html entity to prevent it being interpreted as a PHP variable. This allows us to remove the RAW ini parser flag which causes trouble on some PHP versions as the parser seems to be buggy.
