Description:
------------
When doing a stream_select(STDIN,null,null,0), then the return value will be 1 as soon as one switches the window focus or presses a meta key, but a subsequent fread(STDIN) will block.

This is possible the same problem as #42044, which was closed as not a bug - however, I deem this behaviour as a bug as the select() is supposed to make sure a fread() will NOT block!

Test script:
---------------
public static function sleep($secs) {
		echo "sleeping $secs s";
		for($i=0;$i<$secs;$i++) {
			$a=array(STDIN);
			$b=NULL;
			$num=stream_select($a,$b,$b,0);
			if($num>0) { //read and discard
			echo "fd '$num'\n";
				echo "'".fread(STDIN,4096)."'";
				break;
			}
			echo "\r".str_repeat(" ",60)."\r";
			echo date("d.m.Y H:i:s") . " still sleeping for ".($secs-$i)." seconds";
			sleep(1);	
		}
		echo "done sleeping\n";
	}



Expected result:
----------------
The sleep counter is supposed to keep on counting in the background even if the commandline window is not focused.

Actual result:
--------------
The display will be e.g. "sleeping 20 sfd '1'" after focusing away.

The problem is that console input signals as soon as
ReadConsoleInput() would not block (i.e. there is at least one
console input record available), but ReadFile() blocks until a
line of input is available (assuming the default of line buffered
input).  I don't see a way to reasonably cater to this, so I'm
changing to documenation issue.
