[Form] Remove "value" attribute on empty_value option
Today we faced a very strange issue with the newest Blackberry 10 browser, it was not submitting our forms. Finally we found that in a ```select``` element, if you have a disabled option, it can't have a value or the HTML5 validator will crash and won't submit the form. Of course, setting the ```novalidate``` option for the whole form also solved the issue.
Although I know this must be an issue with the WebKit version the BB10 has, it can easily be solved in symfony with this change. In fact, it does make sense since we already have a disabled option with no value if the ```preferred_choices``` are not empty and a ```separator``` is set

[Intl] Refactored Locale component into two new components Icu and Intl

The Intl component is now a simple drop-in replacement layer for the C intl extension. Install it via Composer and have it available automatically if the intl extension is not available.
Additionally, the component ships data from the ICU library which can be accessed through the methods:
```php
use Symfony\Component\Intl\Intl;
Intl::getCurrencyBundle()->...
Intl::getLanguageBundle()->...
Intl::getLocaleBundle()->...
Intl::getRegionBundle()->...
```
If the intl extension is installed, Composer will install the ICU data for the ICU version in the intl extension. If the intl extension is not installed, Composer will use stub ICU data for the latest ICU version (see `Intl::getStubIcuVersion()`).
See the [README](/bschussek/symfony/blob/intl/src/Symfony/Component/Intl/README.md) for more information.
Todo:
- [x] finish the Intl README file
- [x] update the Icu README file
- [x] update the documentation
- [x] make parameter `$locale` optional (default to `\Locale::getDefault()`) in resource bundle methods
- [x] remove `(Icu)?Version::compare` calls in the tests
- [x] solve deployment problem when trying to install incompatible symfony/icu version listed in composer.lock
Create the following branches in the [Icu component](https://github.com/symfony/Icu):
- [x] 1.0.x
- [x] 1.1.x
- [x] 1.2.x

[2.3] [Form] Support buttons in forms
Bug fix: no
Feature addition: yes
Backwards compatibility break: yes
Symfony2 tests pass: yes
Fixes the following tickets: #5383
Todo: -
License of the code: MIT
Documentation PR: symfony/symfony-docs#2489
The general idea of this PR is to be able to add buttons to forms like so:
```php
$builder->add('clickme', 'submit');
```
You can then check in the controller whether the button was clicked:
```php
if ($form->get('clickme')->isClicked()) {
// do stuff
}
```
Button-specific validation groups are also supported:
```php
$builder->add('clickme', 'submit', array(
'validation_groups' => 'OnlyClickMe',
));
```
The validation group will then override the one defined in the form if that button is clicked.
This PR also introduces the disabling of form validation by passing the value `false` in the option `validation_groups`:
```php
$builder->add('clickme', 'submit', array(
'validation_groups' => false,
));
```
The same can be achieved (already before this PR) by passing an empty array:
```php
$builder->add('clickme', 'submit', array(
'validation_groups' => array(),
));
```
See the linked documentation for more information.

Fixes the following tickets: -

Documentation PR: -
A php fatal error is happening when someone rewrite the entire form data for an object with a single input.
```
Fatal error: Cannot unset string offsets in vendor/symfony/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/Form/Extension/Csrf/EventListener/CsrfValidationListener.php on line 72
```
Example:
```html
<form action="/app_dev.php/post/create" method="post" >
<div id="posttype">
<div>
<label for="posttype_name" class="required">Name</label>
<input type="text" id="posttype_name" name="posttype[name]" required="required" maxlength="255" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="posttype_text" class="required">Text</label>
<textarea id="posttype_text" name="posttype[text]" required="required"></textarea>
</div>
<input type="hidden" id="posttype__token" name="posttype[_token]" value="83a1617c694fbdea43c2527f1a55c7419ce82a42" /></div>
<p>
<button type="submit">Create</button>
</p>
</form>
```
If someone alters the html to add a simple input at the bottom of the form like this one:
```html
<input type="text" id="posttype" name="posttype" value="test123" />
```
The result will be a php fatal error.

[Console] fixed input bug when the value of an option is empty (closes#6649, closes#6689)
[Profiler] [Redis] Fix sort of profiler rows.
Fix version_compare() calls for PHP 5.5.
Removed underscores from test method names to be consistent with other components.
[Process] In edge cases `getcwd()` can return `false`, then `proc_open()` should get `null` to use default value (the working dir of the current PHP process)

It is more common to use fully camel-cased names for test methods. Only some of the test methods are called with underscore notation. To avoid confusion it is better to be consistent.

[PropertyAccess] Extracted PropertyAccess component out of Form
Bug fix: no
Feature addition: no
Backwards compatibility break: yes
Symfony2 tests pass: yes
Fixes the following tickets: -
Todo: -
License of the code: MIT
Documentation PR: -
TODO: adapt DoctrineBundle/PropelBundle to pass the "property_accessor" service to EntityType/ModelType
Usage:
```php
$accessor = PropertyAccess::getPropertyAccessor();
// equivalent to $object->getFoo()->setBar('value')
$accessor->setValue($object, 'foo.bar', 'value');
// equivalent to $object->getFoo()->getBar()
$accessor->getValue($object, 'foo.bar');
// equivalent to $object->getFoo()['bar']
$accessor->getValue($object, 'foo[bar]');
// equivalent to $array['foo']->setBar('value')
$accessor->setValue($array, '[foo].bar', 'value');
// equivalent to $array['foo']['bar']
$accessor->getValue($array, '[foo][bar]');
```
Later on, once we have generation and caching of class-specific accessors, configuration will be something like this (consistent with the Form and Validator component):
```php
$accessor = PropertyAccess::getPropertyAccessorBuilder()
->setCacheDirectory(__DIR__ . '/cache')
->setCacheLifeTime(86400)
->enableMagicGetSet()
->enableMagicCall()
->getPropertyAccessor();
```
or
```php
$accessor = PropertyAccess::getPropertyAccessorBuilder()
->setCache($cache)
->getPropertyAccessor();
```
etc.

by michelsalib at 2013-01-07T10:02:19Z
YES YES YES 👍. Sorry for my enthusiasm, but I already copy pasted the PropertyPath class to some of my libraries to avoid linking to the whole Form component. I thus will be glad to officially use this component into my libraries via composer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by norzechowicz at 2013-01-07T10:17:39Z

I split away `getValue()` and `setValue()` from `PropertyPath` into a new class `ReflectionGraph`. The component is also named ReflectionGraph now.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not found of the name. What do you intend to do in the component more than what PropertyPath does ?

@michelsalib A `PropertyPath` is simply a string like `foo.bar[baz]`. `getValue()` and `setValue()` interpret this path. There may be different interpretations for the same path, so these methods were split into a new class.
I chose the name `ReflectionGraph` because the functionality is very similar to `ReflectionProperty`.
```php
$reflProperty = new ReflectionProperty('Vendor/Class', 'property');
$reflProperty->setValue($object, 'foo');
$reflGraph = new ReflectionGraph();
$reflGraph->setValue($object, 'property.path', 'foo');
```

What about naming it `Reflection`, maybe sometime we will want to add more reflection tools for classes, interfaces... ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by bschussek at 2013-01-07T11:02:32Z
@michelsalib I doubt that we will do that. PHP's implementation is sufficient.

Really ?

Well, that is just a suggestion. If I am the only one to oppose, I won't complain.

@vicb Would you please refrain from such meanginless comments in the future? I'm getting a bit tired of them. If you think that BC is broken somewhere, tell me where so that I can fix it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

@vicb There is no BC break as he kept deprecated classes for BC
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

@bschussek what do you think about some kind of factory for Reflection? This will prevent creating new Reflection objects each time you want to access properties values.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2013-01-07T11:18:47Z
@bschussek my point is that my comment is no more meaningless than closing #6453 because it will break BC.We could also keep BC by extending the classes in the new ns but in both cases BC will ultimately be broken (when the legacy classes are removed)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2013-01-07T12:23:45Z
@bschussek @stof I think that modifying the constructor signatures of `EntityChoiceList`, `FormType` are BC breaks (this is not an exhaustive list)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

@vicb You are right. I added corresponding entries to the CHANGELOG and adapted the above description.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

@bschussek looking at this PR, I was wondering if an alternate syntax would make sense:
```php
<?php
$reflGraph = new ReflectionGraph($object);
// equivalent to $object->getFoo()->setBar('value')
$reflGraph['foo.bar'] = 'value';
// equivalent to $object->getFoo()->getBar()
$reflGraph['foo.bar'];
```
_Sorry for the off topic_
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The advantage of using such a `ReflectionGraph` factory is that it might be easier to return specialized reflection graphs, ie optimized instances (that would be cached).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was also puzzled by the fact that there will be many `ReflectionGraph` instances although they don't have to. I'm with @vicb and I'd also vote for using the constructor to set the subject you're working on. Otherwise you'll repeat yourself over and over again by passing the subject - say `$object` - to `getValue()` or `setValue()`. If however you don't like the constructor thing then why do we have to have an instance of `ReflectionGraph` rather than just go for static methods and use `ReflectionGraph::getValue()` and `ReflectionGraph::setValue()`?
In my opinion there are a few methods that could be static anyway (especially some private ones) :)
But probably I misunderstood something as I'm just about to discover the SF components and don't have any experience working with them (so basically I just read the PR because of @bschussek's tweet :D)
Couldn't come up with any intuitive name for the component though :(
Generally when we talk about "getting" and "setting" values we call those things "mutators"...so `GraphMutator` might be more intuitive than the word `Reflection` :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Taluu at 2013-01-08T14:57:42Z
I like the last proposition made by @vicb (implementing `ArrayAccess` on `ReflectionGraph` - or whatever name will be chosen (`PathMutator` for example :D), and also specify which object should be worked on in the constructor rather than in each method).
Would this also be used in the `Validator` component ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

@Toflar A static ``ReflectionGraph::getValue()`` means you have a coupling to the implementation (as with any static call). The current implementation allows you to replace it with your own implementation as long as you implement the interface as it follows the DI pattern (as done in other places in Symfony).
@vicb The issue with ``$reflGraph = new ReflectionGraph($object);`` is that you cannot inject the ReflectionGraph anymore, as you need a new one each time. This would mean adding a ``ReflectionGraphFactory`` to be injected (and which could then be replaced by a factory using code generation). Using the constructor directly would not allow using a replacement based on code generation later. So the resulting code would more likely be
```php
$reflGraph = new ReflectionGraph();
$mutator = $reflGraph->getMutator($object);
// equivalent to $object->getFoo()->setBar('value')
$mutator['foo.bar'] = 'value';
// equivalent to $object->getFoo()->getBar()
$mutator['foo.bar'];
```
Btw, writing this, I find the naming Mutator suggested by @Taluu good when it concerns the setter, but quite weird when getting the value.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was not the one to suggest though, it was @everzet. But then something like `PathAccessor`, as it is both a mutator and a getter ? I also like @stof suggestion, still in the idea of avoiding to have to put the object as an argument and also allowing to use an `ArrayAccess` interface..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2013-01-08T15:21:54Z
@stof your remark makes sense.
What about `Accessor`, the benefit being that it might well be the name of a coming PHP feature: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/propertygetsetsyntax-v1.2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by everzet at 2013-01-08T15:27:02Z
```php
$manager = new PropertyManager(new PropertyPath());
$num = $manager->getValue($object, 'foo.num');
$manager->setValue($object, 'foo.num', $num + 1);
$objectManager = new ObjectPropertyManager($object[, $manager]);
$num = $objectManager->getValue('foo.num');
$objectManager->setValue('foo.num', $num + 1);
$objectManager['foo.num'] += 1;
```
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by bschussek at 2013-01-08T15:28:01Z
It might be me, but I don't like `ArrayAccess` to be misused for features like that. If I access a key in an array access structure, I expect it to be something like a collection, an associative array or a key value store. This class is neither.
Putting that aside, an accessor for a specific object might make sense, but I'm not sure about that yet.
```php
$reflObject->setValue('foo.bar', 'value');
$reflObject->getValue('foo.bar');
```
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stof at 2013-01-08T15:28:52Z
@vicb I would vote for PathAccessor then, as we are not doing simple accessor but accessors through a path in an object graph.
In my snippet above, we would then have a ReflectionGraph instance and a PathAccessor instance (``$mutator``).
Btw, I would also keep the methods ``setValue`` and ``getValue``. I find it more clear.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by bschussek at 2013-01-08T15:32:07Z
@stof But then we're rather left with the question of ReflectionGraph **vs.** PathAccessor. I don't think that the tiny interface difference (one global, one object-based) justifies the big naming difference.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2013-01-08T15:33:24Z
> This class is neither.
It might be `$pa['foo.bar[baz]'] = $pa['foo.bar']['baz'];` I don't know if it would help though.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stof at 2013-01-08T15:35:51Z
@bschussek In my suggestion, ``ReflectionGraph`` is a factory for the PathAccessor objects. It is not accessing anymore itself (which would probably continue to cause issues to implement it with code generation). But the naming could indeed be changed to something else.
