json_decode strictness regression

[zergin]

Hi,

following up on php bug 65499 - there is a regression in some distro PHP packages starting from version php-5.5 related to pecl-json-c.

The regression can be observed running simple test:

Test script:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(
  json_decode("9af5"), 
  json_last_error()
  json_decode("129af5"), 
  json_last_error()
);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
NULL
int(4)
NULL
int(4)

Actual result:
--------------
int(9)
int(0)
int(129)
int(0)

This change is caused by jsonc-c library parser being very less strict than original one.

I'm working on adding more strictness, but this requires some changes in the json-c library.

Probablyalso worth a bug report there.
