Description:
------------
When trying to access an HTTPS URL through streams if the HTTP timeout is set to a negative value then the function fails with the following warnings: 
Warning: file_get_contents(): SSL: Handshake timed out in Command line code on line 1
Warning: file_get_contents(): Failed to enable crypto in Command line code on line 1
Warning: file_get_contents(https://www.google.fr/): failed to open stream: operation failed in Command line code on line 1

I reproduced the error on Debian but also on Windows using these versions: 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and 7.4

Test script:
---------------
file_get_contents('https://www.google.fr/', false, stream_context_create(['http' => ['timeout' => -1]]));

Expected result:
----------------
The options http.timeout -1 si suppose to prevent timeout errors not cause them

Actual result:
--------------
The options http.timeout -1 cause an a timeout error with https streams

I cannot reproduce this on Windows with PHP-7.4.

While this apparently a valid assumption[1], it is not documented
in the PHP manual.

It is not documented directly but http.timeout uses default_socket_timeout as a default value and default_socket_timeout allow negative values as specified here https://www.php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php#ini.default-socket-timeout

my bad, the bug was fixed last summer but I was testing with PHP-7.4.6 which is why I experienced the problem (https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/eadd98070662f0c56d7138bcb2a42d397c11f6e4)
