 In PHP7.1, when you upload a file with the same name multiple times there
 is a `PHP Warning:  A non-numeric value encountered in /wp-
 includes/functions.php on line 2077`.

 The warning is a type casting related. All you need to do to fix is change
 the default string value to null.

 I've included a very tiny patch and have tested that it fixes the issue
 and has no backwards compatibility implications.
