Bug description:pdo_oci persistent connections broken with Oracle 9.2 servers

Description:
------------
I've only verified this in PHP 5.3.10, but I checked that the relevant code
has not changed in git/master.

Enabling persistent connection to Oracle 9.2 servers does not work. The
server seem to brutally kill the connection on OCIPing, a function the code
in ext/pdo/oci_driver.c:pdo_oci_check_liveness() assumes will fail
gracefully on older Oracle versions.

This makes the error_code == 1010 check fail and it will (now correctly)
re-connect to the server, saving the day by not failing in a user-visible
way, but however rendering persistent connections to 9.2 servers useless
and adding ~900ms of extra latency (in our case).

I tried extending the check to the resulting 3113 (end-of-file on
communication channel) error, but it turned out the connection really is
dead at that point.

Is there really any downside to just using OCIServerVersion instead of
OCIPing?

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$pdo = new PDO(
  'oci:dbname=//dbserver/dbname', 
  'user',
  'pass',
  array(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION, PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT
=> true)
);

?>

Expected result:
----------------
connections not beeing re-established (source port numbers in netstat -anp
not changing)

Actual result:
--------------
connections beeing re-established (source port numbers in netstat -anp
changing), incurring a large latency penalty.
