Description:
------------
As per documentation,

base64_decode("\x0", true)
base64_decode("\x0anything", true)

shoud return FALSE. Instead, they return an empty string.


Test script:
---------------
var_export(base64_decode("\x0", true));
echo PHP_EOL;
var_export(base64_decode("\x0anything", true));


Expected result:
----------------
false
false

Actual result:
--------------
''
''

Obviously, base64_decode(..., true) is not binary safe,
see <https://3v4l.org/H9shC>.
