Bug description:curl doesn't write to php://temp or /memory

Description:
------------
Setting CURLOPT_STDERR to fopen('php://output', 'w') will write curl debug
output.

One would await that setting it to fopen('php://memory', 'w') would store
it in the memory and it would be available after a rewind. That is not the
case, instead, a warning is raised:

Warning: curl_setopt(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle
resource in

is php://output a valid file handle resource?

This is very confusing and it should be possible to store the output in the
memory.

Test script:
---------------
$handle=curl_init('http://google.com');
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_STDERR, fopen('php://output'));
curl_exec($handle);
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_STDERR, $output=fopen('php://temp'));
curl_exec($handle);
rewind($output);
var_dump($output);
