Description:
------------
I've verified this is an issue on PHP 5.4, 5.6, and statically on the master branch.

The AWS SDK (https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-php/) includes a stream wrapper that by default does not support seeking on files backed by S3. Calling getimagesize() on an image can fail if php_skip_variable() is called. I've seen this happen with images that specify the "Image Quality" EXIF tag, which is the M_APP15 constant in ext/standard/image.c.

The stream documentation states that seeking is not required to be supported by stream wrappers, and it's not clear that getimagesize() needs seeking to work properly.

I see two ways to improve this:

* Log a notice if php_skip_variable() tries to seek on an unseekable stream. That would have saved me a ton of time tracing this with GDB.
* Or, if a stream is not seekable, copy the file to the temporary file system and fetch metadata from there.

For SEEK_CUR and positive offsets, non-seekable streams are
supposed to be read (discarding what was written).  So if you can
still reproduce this issue with any of the actively supported PHP
versions[1], please provide a minimal self-contained reproduce
script.

I think I bumped into this exact problem. I implemented a simple custom stream wrapper in Drupal 10 that uses Guzzle client to stream an external resource to create an image style version of it. Before implementing seeking in the stream wrapper, getimagesize() returned FALSE to some valid images after only reading a few chunks from the stream. This happened for example with flamma.helsinki.fi/documents/20142/1540081/upload_00095252.jpg . When I added seeking, getimagesize detected the image correctly and everything worked.
