* 2.3:
bumped Symfony version to 2.3.10
updated VERSION for 2.3.9
update CONTRIBUTORS for 2.3.9
updated CHANGELOG for 2.3.9
Add support SAPI cli-server
Fix hardcoded listenerTag name in error message
[HttpFoundation] Documented public properties.
[Routing] add missing unit tests for Route and RouteCollection classes
Conflicts:
src/Symfony/Component/HttpKernel/Kernel.php
src/Symfony/Component/Routing/Tests/RouteCollectionTest.php
As Composer is now widely used in the PHP world, having to run composer
install before running the test suite is expected. This also has the
nice benefit of removing a bunch of code, making things easier to
maintain (there is only one place to declare a dev dependency), and
probably more.
As explained in #6775, this has been done for the following reasons:
1. It's also Request::getHost()
2. The term hostname has been obsoleted in
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#appendix-D.2 and uses the host only
3. hostname in the RFC was defined as the registered domain name, but we
probably also want to match IP-Adresses with the pattern which is the
host = IP-literal / IPv4address / reg-name for.
This PR was merged into the master branch.

[Routing] removed tree structure from RouteCollection
BC break: yes (see below)
Deprecations: RouteCollection::getParent(); RouteCollection::getRoot()
tests pass: yes
The reason for this is so quite simple. The RouteCollection has been designed as a tree structure, but it cannot at all be used as one. There is no getter for a sub-collection at all. So you cannot access a sub-collection after you added it to the tree with `addCollection(new RouteCollection())`. In contrast to the form component, e.g. `$form->get('child')->get('grandchild')`.
So you can see the RouteCollection cannot be used as a tree and it should not, as the same can be achieved with a flat array!
Using a flat array removes all the need for recursive traversal and makes the code much faster, much lighter, less memory (big problem in CMS with many routes) and less error-prone.
BC break: there is only a BC break if somebody used the PHP API for defining RouteCollection and also added a Route to a collection after it has been added to another collection.
So
```
$rootCollection = new RouteCollection();
$subCollection = new RouteCollection();
$rootCollection->addCollection($subCollection);
$subCollection->add('foo', new Route('/foo'));
```
must be updated to the following (otherwise the 'foo' Route is not imported to the rootCollection)
```
$rootCollection = new RouteCollection();
$subCollection = new RouteCollection();
$subCollection->add('foo', new Route('/foo'));
$rootCollection->addCollection($subCollection);
```
Also one must call addCollection from the bottom to the top. So the correct sequence is the following (and not the reverse)
```
$childCollection->->addCollection($grandchildCollection);
$rootCollection->addCollection($childCollection);
```
Remeber, this is only needed when using PHP for defining routes and calling methods in a special order. There is no change required when using XML or YAML for definitions. Also, I'm pretty sure that neither the CMF, nor Drupal routing, nor Silex is relying on the tree stuff. So they should also still work.

One more thing: RouteCollection wasn't an appropriate name for a tree anyway as a collection of routes (that it now is) is definitely not a tree.
Yet another point: The XML declaration of routes uses the `<import>` element, which is excatly what the new implementation of addCollection without the need of a tree does. So this is now also more analogous.

What benefit of this?

@Koc Why did you not simply wait for the description? ^^

i love PR that remove more code than they add whithout removing functionality.

There's an issue somewhere in Drupal where we're trying to use addCollection() as a shorthand for iterating over one collection and calling add() on the other for each item. We can't do that, however, because the subcollections are not flattened properly when reading back and our current dumper can't cope with that. So this change would not harm Drupal at all, and would mean I don't have fix a bug in our dumper. :-) I cannot speak for any other projects, of course.

Ok, this is ready.
