Description:
------------
There is currently no way to detect error in finfo::__construct() other than defining own set_error_handler(). It should throw an exception in case of an error.

new finfo() always creates the object but this object is unusable if constructor doesn't succeed.

Test script:
---------------
$finfo = null;
try {
	$finfo = new finfo(1, '', false);
} catch (Exception $e) {
	echo "Error creating finfo.\n";
}
var_dump($finfo);


Expected result:
----------------
Error creating finfo.
NULL


Actual result:
--------------
object(finfo)#1 (0) {
}
