## [Validator] Allow DateTime objects as valid Times
Also added tests for `DateTime` objects as valid on `Date` and `Time` constraints.
I didn't include the test for the `DateTime` constraint, as it's already included in this PR:
https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/1085

I don't think it makes sense to use a \DateTime instance to represent a Time.

If I have an entity with a doctrine type `Time`:
Time (DateTime instance where only H:i:s get persisted)
```php
<?php
/**
* @ORM\Column(type="time")
* @Assert\Time()
*/
protected $startTime;
```
and I create a form out of this Entity, a `DateTime` object is passed when the form is submitted.
This generates an `UnexpectedTypeException`.
I just made this change to match the `Date` validator with the doctrine type `Date`, which also shares this behavior:
https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/master/src/Symfony/Component/Validator/Constraints/DateValidator.php#L28
Date (DateTime instance where only Y-m-d get persisted)
Rules are as follows:
* If multiple is true, then the empty_value is ignored
* If not, and if the field is not required, the empty_value is set to the empty string by default and displayed
* If the field is required, and if the user explicitely set the empty_value, then it is displayed

added script[type="text/html"] collection prototype to form themes
[Form] removed collection prototype from form tree

This reverts commit d044498cde.
The reason for reverting is that the name is actually used to customize
the template on a per field basis:
{% block _post_excerpt_widget %}
***{{ block('text_widget') }}***
{% endblock %}
Here, post is the name of the Type.
The definition "assetic.helper.static" references the service "templating.helper.assets" which belongs to a narrower scope. Generally, it is safer to either move "assetic.helper.static" to scope "request" or alternatively rely on the provider pattern by injecting the container itself, and requesting the service "templating.helper.assets" each time it is needed. In rare, special cases however that might not be necessary, then you can set the reference to strict=false to get rid of this error.
