In calls to mb_ functions, silently transform arg into string

In PHP8, a number of functions who were accepting null arguments will only accept
string ones.

In the polyfill, mb_* functions are declared with a trict type checking of "string".

Therefore, we deprecate the use of non string arguments, so that it won't break when either using the polyfill,
or future php8 versions.
