Bug description:fread() does not detects decoding errors from filter bzip2.decompress

Description:
------------
When the bzip2.decompress filter is applied to a stream, the fread()
function does not detect decoding errors on a corrupted file and keeps
instead returning the empty string or garbage. The following script
illustrates 3 distinct cases.

Checking what really happens inside the php_bz2_decompress_filter()
function, in 2 of the 3 cases this function correctly detects an error
in the corrupted file and returns PSFS_ERR_FATAL, but in the script the
fread() function always succeeds.

In one case the php_bz2_decompress_filter() function does not detect
anything, but fread() succeeds and returns the empty string.

In my opinion, if a decoding error is detected it is just like reading
from a damaged file and fread() should return FALSE and triggering
E_WARNING (which this script would map to ErrorException).

I've tested on PHP 7.0-dev, but I don't think the PHP version does
really matters here.

Unsure if this bug is in some way related to #17651.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
// Bug report: bzip2.decompress fails to detect corrupted data.

// Set a safe environment:
error_reporting(-1);
ini_set("track_errors", "1");

/**
 * Maps errors to ErrorException.
 * @access private
 * @param int $errno
 * @param string $message
 * @return boolean
 * @throws ErrorException
 */
function my_error_handler($errno, $message /*, $filename, $lineno,
$context */)
{
	throw new ErrorException($message); 
}

set_error_handler("my_error_handler");


/**
 * Testing reading corrupted BZIP2 file using bzip2.decompress filter.
 * @throws ErrorException
 */
function main()
{
	$plain = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.";
	$fn = "test.bz2";
	$compressed = (string) bzcompress($plain);
	echo "Compressed len = ", strlen($compressed), "\n";
	
	// Set a random byte in the middle of the compressed data
	// --> php_bz2_decompress_filter() detects fatal error
	// --> fread() displays empty string then garbage, no errors detected:
	$compressed[strlen($compressed) - 15] = 'X';
	
	// Truncate the compressed data
	// --> php_bz2_decompress_filter() does not detect errors,
	// --> fread() displays the empty string:
//	$compressed = substr($compressed, 0, strlen($compressed) - 20);
	
	// Corrupted final CRC
	// --> php_bz2_decompress_filter() detects fatal error
	// --> fread() displays an empty string, then the correct plain text,
no error detected:
//	$compressed[strlen($compressed)-2] = 'X';

	file_put_contents($fn, $compressed);
	
	$r = fopen($fn, "r");
	stream_filter_append($r, 'bzip2.decompress', STREAM_FILTER_READ);
	while( ! feof($r) ){
		$s = fread($r, 100);
		echo "read: "; var_dump($s);
	}
	fclose($r);
	unlink($fn);
}

main();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Compressed len = 81
Fatal error: Uncaught ErrorException: fread() I/O error in
/home/salsi/BZIP2-bug-report.php:24

(or possibly a more descriptive error message, although it might be
difficult to do due to the limitations of the filter interface)

Actual result:
--------------
Compressed len = 81
read: string(0) ""
read: string(43) "bthes ohe rpujumr.bthes ohe rpujumr.bthes o"
