Description:
------------
PDO::__construct() will always throw a PDOException if the connection fails regardless of which PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE is currently set.  The PDOException has a public property $errorInfo which corresponds to PDO::errorInfo() or PDOStatement::errorInfo().

When PDO::__construct() throws a PDOException say, because of a database server issue, the public property PDOException::$errorInfo is set to NULL and the return value from PDOException::getCode() is not the expected string SQLSTATE error code.

I would have expected a non-NULL PDOException::$errorInfo to be set when the exception is caught.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

// Valid DSN, but with wrong password to trigger the exception
$dsn = 'pgsql:host=localhost;dbname=test;user=foo;password=wrongpass';
try {
  $pdo = new \PDO($dsn, null, null);
} catch (\PDOException $e) {
  var_dump($e->errorInfo);
  var_dump($e->getCode());
  var_dump($e->getMessage());
}

?>

Expected result:
----------------
array(3) {
  [0] =>
  string(5) "08006"
  [1] =>
  int(7)
  [2] =>
  string(53) "FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "foo""
}
string(5) "08006"
string(73) "SQLSTATE[08006] [7] FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "foo""


Actual result:
--------------
NULL
int(7)
string(73) "SQLSTATE[08006] [7] FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "foo""

I started writing a new common phpt file in order to check the behaviour of drivers other then pgsql and it seems that pdo_sqlite and pdo_mysql are affected too, so I'm changing the bug type to PDO Core.

I've run into this same issue recently. When Azure Sql Databases is "paused", the only way to get that error is through the db code. However errorInfo is not set when this PDOException is thrown from PDO::__construct().

I see there is a PR associated. Is there any chance the issue with that PR can be solved for 8.0 if there is an ABI issue?
