PHP Spread 2.0.2 Patch

This is a patch against the excellent PHP spread module by George Schlossnagle, Pierre-A. Joye, and Rob Richards.

This patch includes the following changes:

• Added missing spread_leave() function.
• Support for optional stype parsing into an array of flags.
• Support for optional group membership messages.
• Fixed a comment typo.
• Change spread_receive() to return null on timeout and false on error (previously always returned false, making it impossible to tell a simple timeout with no data from a catastrophic failure, leading to tight CPU-burning loops when spread_receive() was used with timeouts and the connection drops.

This patch has received moderate, but not extensive, testing.
