Description:
------------
On Windows, dns_get_record(…)[$i]["txt"] is always unterminated
(if that element exists).  This can lead to serious issues if that
string is passed to some other functions.

Test script:
---------------
$result = dns_get_record("php.net", DNS_TXT);
print_r($result[0]);

Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [host] => php.net
    [class] => IN
    [ttl] => 300
    [type] => TXT
    [txt] => v=spf1 ip4:72.52.91.12 ip6:2a02:cb41::8 ip4:140.211.15.143 ip4:208.43.231.12 ip4:45.112.84.5 ip4:142.93.197.176 ip6:2604:a880:400:d0::1c74:1001 ip6:2a02:cb43:8000::1102 ?all      
    [entries] => Array
        (
            [0] => v=spf1 ip4:72.52.91.12 ip6:2a02:cb41::8 ip4:140.211.15.143 ip4:208.43.231.12 
ip4:45.112.84.5 ip4:142.93.197.176 ip6:2604:a880:400:d0::1c74:1001 ip6:2a02:cb43:8000::1102 ?all        )

)


Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [host] => php.net
    [class] => IN
    [ttl] => 300
    [type] => TXT
    [txt] => v=spf1 ip4:72.52.91.12 ip6:2a02:cb41::8 ip4:140.211.15.143 ip4:208.43.231.12 ip4:45.112.84.5 ip4:142.93.197.176 ip6:2604:a880:400:d0::1c74:1001 ip6:2a02:cb43:8000::1102 ?all      
    [entries] => Array
        (
            [0] => v=spf1 ip4:72.52.91.12 ip6:2a02:cb41::8 ip4:140.211.15.143 ip4:208.43.231.12

)
