Bug description:FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT fails to filter strings with plus 
and minus

Description:
------------
The filter_var FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT filter fails to sanitize plus and
minus 
signs in a string. This is the expected behavior, since + and - are
accepted in 
an integer. However, the filter fails to recognize multiple + and -,
returning an 
string instead of an integer.

For example: 

filter_var("I'm+captain4", FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT; // returns +4, OK!
filter_var("I'm++captain4", FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT; // returns ++4,
FAILURE!

I wrote a small patch that makes the filter ignore + and - signs, which, i

believe, it's the best behavior for this. 

Test script:
---------------
<?php

// Normal behavior
$a = filter_var("I'm+captainSp4rrow!", FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);
$b = filter_var("I'm+captain4", FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);

echo "$a and $b" . PHP_EOL;
echo $a + $b . PHP_EOL;

// Problems comes in when we have multiple minus or plus signs in the
string
$a = filter_var("I'm++captainSp4rrow!", FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);
$b = filter_var("I'm++captain4", FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);

echo "$a and $b" . PHP_EOL;
echo $a + $b . PHP_EOL;

Expected result:
----------------
4 and 4
8
4 and 4
8
