Fixed stdClass constructor call in mysql_fetch_object()

[lorenzos]

Fixed error "stdClass does not have a constructor hence you cannot use ctor_params" (tested in PHP 7.0.33) when explicitly passing "stdClass" instead of null to mysql_fetch_object().

@lorenzos would this same issue occur for any class without a constructor? Perhaps the better option is to check method _exists($class, '__construct') and have an additional elseif that calls without the third param?

@lorenzos also, and I can't stress this enough, PHP 7.0 has been without security fixes for three years. You should be using 7.4, 8.0, or 8.1. This library still works with those.

@dshafik Yes, you're right, thanks 🙂 I removed the string check since it's not necessary anymore: it looks like method_exists() works just fine with stdClass, which is the default parameter value for mysqli_fetch_object() anyway.

If it was up to me and my developer colleagues... Unfortunately that is one of those cases where, after informing them, there's not much you can do: the customer and his hosting provider don't want to understand it, or probably they just don't want to invest time or money on software migration. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the warning anyway, and thanks for being clear in the README too, I much appreciated it.
