Description:
------------
If an empty array is set to CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, the request will timeout, this does not happen on php7.3 or with CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS with other values.
The problem occurs on both windows and linux.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$token = '12341234:WASDWASD';
$method = 'getMe';
$args = [];

$curlRequestSession = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curlRequestSession, [
	CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
	CURLOPT_POST => true,
	CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 3,
	CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.telegram.org/bot' . $token . '/' . $method,
	CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $args,
]);

$response = curl_exec($curlRequestSession);
if($response === false) {
	echo curl_error($curlRequestSession) . PHP_EOL . var_export(curl_getinfo($curlRequestSession), true) . PHP_EOL;
} else {
	echo 'Success: ' . $response . PHP_EOL;
}

have you checked the test file? the problem seemed to occur only on that specific url (https://api.telegram.org/bot12341234:WASDWASD/getMe), I couldn't even reproduce it on my webserver by setting 401 as http code and some other header.

Yes, I've also checked with the given test script, and that
returned "success" with the fix.  You can verify with
<https://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/php-7.4/r6d1dff6/>.

I mean that the bug does not occur unless under certain conditions, for example with a normal page it did not occur
 [2019-12-28 18:05 UTC] cmb@php.net 
With PHP 7.4.1, the request that is sent is

POST /bot12341234:WASDWASD/getMe HTTP/1.1
Host: api.telegram.org
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 46
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=------------------------3f43f848cba8eb3d

--------------------------3f43f848cba8eb3d--

To my knowledge, this is a valid request, but apparently the empty
part may cause issues, and since former PHP versions sent

POST /bot12341234:WASDWASD/getMe HTTP/1.1
Host: api.telegram.org
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 0

it seems to be prudent to generally switch back to that behavior.
