Description:
------------
for some reason using argon2i as a hash algorithm, it always dumps out a NUL byte at the end which doesnt happen with bcrypt.


I just use the PHP7.2-RC2 x64-nts from windows.php.net on a webserver using cgi

Test script:
---------------
<?php
header("Content-type: text/plain");
$pwhash=password_hash("php",PASSWORD_ARGON2I,[
  'memory_cost' => 16384, // 16 Mb
  'time_cost'   => 2,
  'threads'     => 4,]);
  
  
echo  $pwhash;

$pwhash2=password_hash("php",PASSWORD_BCRYPT,[
  "cost"=> 10]);
  echo PHP_EOL.PHP_EOL;
  echo $pwhash2;

Expected result:
----------------
that it wont dump a NUL at the end

Actual result:
--------------
it does throw a NUL byte at the end.

by the way, password_verify, doesnt care whether the NUL exists.

the test script can be expanded by:

var_dump(password_verify("php",$pwhash));
var_dump(password_verify("php",trim($pwhash)));

The problem appears to be that argon2_encodedlen() returns the
length of the resulting string including the trailing NUL byte
(i.e. strlen()+1). However, zend_string_alloc() wants the length
of the string without trailing NUL.

See <https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-7.2.0beta3/ext/standard/password.c#L518-L529>.
