Description:
------------
PASSWORD_BCRYPT truncates password longer than 72 bytes silently 


Test script:
---------------
[yohgaki@dev tmp]$ php -r 'var_dump(password_verify("123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012", password_hash("12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890", PASSWORD_DEFAULT)));'
bool(true)
[yohgaki@dev tmp]$ php -r 'var_dump(password_verify("12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901", password_hash("12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890", PASSWORD_DEFAULT)));'
bool(false)

Expected result:
----------------
password_hash() should raise E_NOTICE when password is too long for it.

Actual result:
--------------
Silently ignores bytes larger than 72.
