Summary

Ref T13250. See PHI1069. This is a small fix for getRequestURI() currently not working if the request includes "x[]=..." PHP-flavored array parameters, beacause they're parsed into arrays by $_GET and setQueryParams(...) no longer accepts nonscalars.

Instead, just parse the raw request URI.

Test Plan

Visited /search/hovercard/?phids[]=X, no more fatal. Dumped the resulting URI, saw it had the right value. Tried ?phids[]=x&x=1&x=1&x=1, saw the parameters correctly preserved.

There's some small possibility that $_GET and REQUEST_URI do not agree in some environments and that this will create even more problems. However, they agree locally, and we already use REQUEST_URI in some other cases without issues, and I couldn't find any internet evidence that REQUEST_URI is suspect.

We do have some code to turn a bag of PHP-flavored parameters into a query string (AphrontRequest::flattenData()) so we could just flatten $_GET, but that code is pretty icky so I'm hoping we can get away without increasing our reliance on it.
