[Session] Used \Locale::setDefault() when the locale is setted
For `DateType` in form component (by example), `\Locale::getDefault()` is used to displayed the name of months.
If `\Locale` class is not used when the locale is setted in the session, the name of months is not in a good language.
This PR solves this problem.

what if user doesn't have intl extension ?

You should wrap the calls to ``\Locale::setDefault`` in a ``class_exist`` check to avoid issue when using the stub implementation (for which calling ``setDefault`` is forbidden).

@pborreli: Symfony have a fake Locale class and this class is used only if the server haven't intl enabled.

@francisbesset Yeah, but ``setDefault`` throw a ``BadMethodCall`` exception.
and so the check has to use ``extension_loaded`` instead of ``class_exists``.

I have just tried another implementation where the locale is passed as an argument to the built-in types and some data transformers (via a `LocaleAwareInterface` interface). That works fine as forms are immutable now, but the solution is obviously more "complex" as we need to pass the locale to many different classes. Also, using `Locale::setDefault()` has an advantage over my method: you can change the locale whenever you want within a PHP process (which can be useful even if this is an edge case). Last, but not the least, if make sense to update the PHP Locale to the user locale.
So, to sum up, this patch is probably the best solution (easy and flexible enough).

Some explanations on how it works now:
* The Session is an optional dependency of the Request. If you create the
Request yourself (which is mandatory now in the front controller) and if
you don't inject a Session yourself (which is recommended if you want the
session to be configured via dependency injection), the Symfony2 Kernel
will associate the Session configured in the Container with the Request
automatically.
* When duplicating a request, the session is shared between the parent and
the child (that's because duplicated requests are sub-requests of the main
one most of the time.) Notice that when you use ::create(), the behavior is
the same as for the constructor; no session is attached to the Request.
* Symfony2 tries hard to not create a session cookie when it is not needed
but a Session object is always available (the cookie is only created when
"something" is stored in the session.)
* Symfony2 only starts a session when:
* A session already exists in the request ($_COOKIE[session_name()] is
defined -- this is done by RequestListener);
* There is something written in the session object (the cookie will be sent
to the Client).
* Notice that reading from the session does not start the session anymore (as
we don't need to start a new session to get the default values, and because
if a session exists, it has already been started by RequestListener.)
