Note that I chose yellow for the error header instead of blue because this is the color used in the
terminal for such errors, blue is not usually an error associated to errors.

Description:
------------
The default error page in the built-in webserver is very ugly. Looking at the history of the file in
the git repository, these styles and html were copied from the phpinfo styling created in 2002 with
CSS selectors that had Netscape 4/IE4 compatibility in mind.
Appearances matter :) It makes this new PHP feature look already outdated.
I am going to attach a patch that:
* will make it look a bit more modern and works in responsive mode too
* will remove unused css rules from the code
* will add an html5 doctype to the error page
* will remove unnecesary html attributes in html5
(I noticed that there are 2 tests in the sapi/cli/tests folder that reproduce some of this html, I
don't know how tests work for php but I can give a shot at updating the expected results of the
tests in the patch if required)
