Description:
------------
On PHP v5.4.x mysqli_connect() and mysqli_query() worked momentally via named pipes for all version of windows (at least for MySQL v5.5, v5.6, v5.7), but in PHP v5.6.x, v7.0.x, v7.1.x, v7.2.x works very slowly:
- Windows Server 2008 R2 ~ 50 msec for mysqli_connect()
- Windows Server 2012 R2 ~ 5 msec for mysqli_connect()

I think this is a bug, because in the previous version of PHP everything worked is perfect!
Excuse for bad English.

Test script:
---------------
$time = microtime(true);
$link = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $pass);
$time = (microtime(true) - $time) * 1000;
echo 'Connect = '.$time.' ms.';

$time = microtime(true);
$link = mysqli_query($link, 'select 1');
$time = (microtime(true) - $time) * 1000;
echo 'Select = '.$time.' ms.';

I can confirm that named pipes are considerably slower than TCP
with PHP-7.4.  And although the MySQL manual mentions[1] (to my
surprise):

| The default is to use TCP/IP regardless of platform because
| named pipes are slower than TCP/IP in many Windows configurations.

I can also confirm that named pipes were slightly faster than TCP
with PHP 5.4.45.

I have not been able to find the root cause, but given that MySQL
defaults to TCP/IP anyway, and this ticket didn't get any traction
for three years, I'm closing as WONTFIX.

Furthermore, especially on the older Windows systems, the measured
times could be incorrect.  Use hrtime() for such measurements
instead.
