[WIP][HttpFoundation][Session] Fixed detection of an active session
Bug fix: yes
Feature addition: no
Backwards compatibility break: not sure
Symfony2 tests pass: no
Fixes the following tickets: #4529
Todo: Fix failing tests
License of the code: MIT
Documentation PR: ~
This fixes the problem when the session variable inside $request now has always data in it as it's now more powerful but this introduces the problem that the old way of detecting if a session is started or not doesn't work anymore.

Sessions should be started implicitly. The SF auto_start config parameter controls the session listener to start the session.

So this patch is correct then and I should continue the work on it?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by drak at 2012-06-11T07:51:39Z
@dlsniper - no it's not correct. The session should not be auto-started like this, @fabpot and I recently discussed it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by dlsniper at 2012-06-11T07:52:55Z
@Drak, ok I'll remove the patch for auto_start then but the fix for start would still stand, right?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by drak at 2012-06-12T18:40:35Z
@dlsniper - I have no objection to the rest of the PR except for the autostart stuff. I've annotated for clarity :)

Seems Travis doesn't like the squashing of commits that I've did but the PR does pass the normal tests.
@drak is this good for merging now?
Thanks :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by dlsniper at 2012-06-13T09:05:09Z
@fabpot this can be merged safely, I've just applied the patch on my production application and the patch is ok, it's just travis failing.
Thanks

I've noticed that this is failing, I'll fix it later on today.

It's possible that other tests are failing not related to this PR. Run the tests on the current master, and try rebasing your branch to the current master also.

I've just reminded why this is failing on builds, I can't do them locally because of this:
```
Installing dev dependencies
Your requirements could not be solved to an installable set of packages.
Problems:
- Problem caused by:
- Installation request for doctrine/orm [>= 2.2.0.0, < 2.4.0.0-dev]: Satisfiable by [doctrine/orm-2.2.2, doctrine/orm-2.2.1, doctrine/orm-2.2.0, doctrine/orm-2.2.x-dev, doctrine/orm-2.3.x-dev].
```
I'll try and install this somehow and see what's wrong with it.

@dlsniper: as @stof said to me this should be resolved in latest versions of composer, but it seems that is not. The problem is that composer cannot figure out that you are on dev-master if you try to instal dev. dependencies on feature branch. Take a look at the .travis.yml file on how to do a proper dev vendors install.

@mvrhov Thanks for pointing this out.
@drak I still got two tests not passing but I'm not sure how to fix them as adding $session->start() will either fail with the message that the session has already been started, the headers_sent() call which returns true. Any help with them will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Here is what the HttpKernel tests are returning:
```
There were 2 failures:
1) Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Tests\EventListener\LocaleListenerTest::testDefaultLocaleWithSession
Failed asserting that two strings are equal.

@stof / @vicb Hi, do either of you think that you can either point me out to the right direction for fixing this either ping someone else for home help as @drak doesn't seem available for this and at the moment I'm pretty much clueless in what direction I should take this fix.
Thanks!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by dlsniper at 2012-06-19T14:16:29Z
ping @fabpot Can you please provide some input on this one as I'm a bit stuck and seems noone else is available.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by drak at 2012-06-20T10:24:43Z
fyi - I'll be able to look again in a few days
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm +1 to add the `isStarted()` method, but -1 for the change of `Request::hasSession`.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by drak at 2012-07-01T09:06:15Z
@fabpot, I agree. `hasSession()` should not be changed, it's semantically incorrect to make it return effectively "hasActiveSession".
