Bug description:  POST data is not decoded, according to 
Content-Transfer-Encoding

Description:
------------
Hallo,

In a HTTP POST request and Content-Type "multipart/form-data", each part
can have a Content-Transfer-Encoding, which is defined in RFC2045. (See
also HTML 4.01-sec17.13.4.2)

PHP only works with 7bit, 8bit and binary, because with these values, the
data is not transformed.

With base64 or quoted-printabled, the data is transformed (encoded), and
PHP should decode it (see also rfc2616-sec3.7.2 / rfc1867-sec3.3).

Just test the above example from RFC2388-sec4.5. That's also a problem, if
you upload a file with such a transfer encoding. After move_uploaded_files,
the content of such file is not really what you aspect.

And in a script, which receives such data, I don't see (can't know), if
there was a Content-Transfer-Encoding for something in $_POST / $_FILES.
Maybe not usual, but a Client can use such a Content-Transfer-Encoding at
any time in a POST request.

Regards,
Carsten


Reproduce code:
---------------
Create a simple "test.php" in your DocumentRoot:
==================
<?php
var_dump($_POST);
?>
==================

Telnet to localhost:80 and send this request:
======================================================
POST http://localhost/test.php HTTP/1.0
Content-Length: 181
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=AaB03x

--AaB03x
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="field1"
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=windows-1250
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Joe owes =80100.
--AaB03x--

======================================================



Expected result:
----------------
array(1) {
  ["field1"]=>
    string(14) "Joe owes €100."
}


Actual result:
--------------
array(1) {
  ["field1"]=>
    string(16) "Joe owes =80100."
}
