Description:
------------
This bug affects both parse_ini_file() and parse_ini_string() functions.

A string value starting with a number and without quotes causes segmentation fault, whenever mode is set to INI_SCANNER_TYPED.

PHP versions tested: 5.6.9, 7.0.0b2
OS tested: Debian 8.1, Windows 8.1

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$ini = "

[agatha.christie]
title = 10 little indians

";

var_dump(parse_ini_string($ini, true, INI_SCANNER_TYPED));

?>

Expected result:
----------------
array(1) {
  ["agatha.christie"]=>
  array(1) {
    ["title"]=>
    string(17) "10 little indians"
  }
}

Actual result:
--------------
segmentation fault

The problem is obvious. op1 in zend_ini_add_string is IS_LONG,
but is treated as IS_STRING. The solution, however, is not so
obvious to me.

actually, this is introduced in 5.6, not a php7 specific issue. 

@datibbaw, could you please have a look ?

An other segfault due to the same problem:

$ini = "foo[1] = bar";
var_dump(parse_ini_string($ini, true, INI_SCANNER_TYPED));

Sorry for the delay, I'll have a look!
