Description:
------------
e.g. base_convert(101,10,10) and base_convert(10.1,10,10) return the same result as the decimal dot character is simply ignored/skipped over
(found in the user notes on base_convert() in the manual)

Test script:
---------------
echo base_convert("10@23",10,10);

Expected result:
----------------
10 // or an error

Actual result:
--------------
1023

Confirmed: <https://3v4l.org/kqOBk>. Apparently, *any* invalid
characters in $number are silently ignored.

While fixing this issue is trivial (for instance, the attached
patch base-convert-notice would raise E_NOTICE, but continue
processing), it would cause BC break: I got 9 failing PHPTs and
maybe even worse, _php_math_basetozval() is declared as PHP_API.

This has been fixed in PHP 7.4
