Description:
------------
If php_escape_html_entities fails CG(interned_empty_string) will be freed:

* If interned strings are enabled (default) STR_EMPTY_ALLOC is an alias for CG(interned_empty_string)
see https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.6/Zend/zend.h#L682

* php_escape_html_entities_ex returns STR_EMPTY_ALLOC in case of failure
see https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.6/ext/standard/html.c#L1307

* php_escape_html_entities is used in php_verror if display_errors is enabled
see https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.6/main/main.c#L848

* Thus CG(interned_empty_string) gets freed
see https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.6/main/main.c#L921

This issue is even worse when opcache is enabled.

Sample script:
fopen("\xfc\x63", "r");

https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.6/ext/wddx/wddx.c#L408:
wddx_serialize_value("\xfc\x63");

https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.6/ext/wddx/wddx.c#L633:
wddx_serialize_value([ "\xfc\x63" => "foo" ]);

https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.6/ext/soap/soap.c#L3997
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.6/ext/soap/soap.c#L4022
(new SoapServer(NULL, [ "location" => "http://foo", "uri" => "http://foo" ]))->fault("\xfc\x63", "foo");

No issues (imho):
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.6/main/main.c#L790
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.6/sapi/fpm/fpm/fpm_status.c#L421
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.6/sapi/cli/php_cli_server.c#L1929
php_escape_html_entities calls in https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.6/info/info.c are safe too

Btw, I've just found an existing bug report covering the first invalid free: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68214
 [2015-02-07 18:06 UTC] manuel-php at mausz dot at 
Err, #68214 is another invalid free. Looks like main/main.c#L790 is an issue. Will update my PR in a minute.
