Bug description:FPM doesn't receive binary values in FastCGI requests

Description:
------------
The function fcgi_get_params() checks fastcgi name-value pairs on their
effective sizes using fcgi_param_get_eff_len().
This works good only for zero-ended string values, but not the binary data.
Suppose we want to transmit binary data with zeroes in the middle.
In that case fcgi_param_get_eff_len() returns 0. That causes FPM to drop
FastCGI connection.


Test script:
---------------
How to reproduce (passing binary client address in BREMOTE_ADDR):

nginx server configuration:
http://www.box.com/s/dduo08uni67ilgjnn6rc

TCP session dump (tcpdump -ni lo port 4006 -X -s 0):
http://www.box.com/s/ukkyco8raeijvb3hr8ep


Expected result:
----------------
Expected: full response from PHP. 


Actual result:
--------------
Actually got: TCP reset immediately after receiving data packet with
FastCGI request.

You may decode bytes sequence in the data packet. Bytes from 0x0094 to
0x00A5 are:

0x0094 = x0c = 12 (the length of "BREMOTE_ADDR" string)
0x0095 = x04 = 04 (the length of binary data)
0x0096-0x00A1 = "BREMOTE_ADDR" (the name)
0x00A2-0x00A5 = 0x7f 0x00 0x00 0x01 (the binary representation of IPv4
address 127.0.0.1)

I found something like FastCGI specs on
http://www.fastcgi.com/drupal/node/6?q=node/22#S5.2
"3.4 Name-Value Pairs
...
This name-value pair format allows the sender to transmit binary values
without additional encoding, 
and enables the receiver to allocate the correct amount of storage
immediately even for large values."

Thus, I think assuming that all FastCGI data is a zero-ended strings is
wrong.

I wrote a patch that removes check for non-zero byte after "end of string".
