Description:
------------
Nowdocs and heredocs should also be LALR-reduced when EOF follows after T_END_HEREDOC, not only EOL

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$bar = <<<'EOD'
$foo is a variable
EOD;

Expected result:
----------------
$foo is a variable

Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_VARIABLE or T_END_HEREDOC or T_DOLLAR_OPEN_CURLY_BRACES or T_CURLY_OPEN in J:\webdev\apache\htdocs\salut2.php on line 4

Note that this will work though:
<?php
$foo = 'bar';

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

This is expected. The documentation states "The closing delimiter (possibly followed by a semicolon) must also be followed by a newline."
