Bug description:  mysqli_real_escape_string not properly escaping null 
characters

Description:
------------
When dealing with binary strings that are being escaped and inserted into
a mysql table that contains a BINARY(128) field, the data that ends up
being inserted is incomplete if the string contains a null character within
the string.

Reproduce code:
---------------
/*
--TABLE DEF:

CREATE TABLE `system_users_stored_sessions` (
  `session` binary(128) NOT NULL,
  `name` char(32) NOT NULL,
  `posted_on` datetime NOT NULL,
  `body` varchar(65000) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`session`,`name`),
  KEY `posted_on` (`posted_on`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

*/

$hash_with_null_char = hash('whirlpool', '1210797760.8178', true);

$mysqli->query("
        INSERT INTO
                user_sessions
        SET
                session = 
'".$mysqli->real_escape_string($hash_with_null_char)."',
                posted_on = NOW(),
                name = '".$mysqli->real_escape_string($name)."',
                body = '".$mysqli->real_escape_string($body)."'
");

Expected result:
----------------
Expecting a row containing the full binary hash.

Actual result:
--------------
Actual result: a binary string that is terminated by the null char in the
string, not the actual ending.

I am able to work around this by doing a addslashes() to the string before
doing the mysqli_real_escape_string(), however all other chars are double
escaped making the resulting string be longer than it wanted (128 binary
chars).
