`PdoSessionHandler` class assumes that the PDO object is set to throw exceptions, not errors. I added a line in the constructor to set that attribute, so configuration/query errors are able to be seen and caught a lot easier.

ce8a441 [2.3][HttpFoundation] PDO Session handling enhancements
This allows control over how the session start on demand works
0: no start on demand when bags are accessed
1: start session if bags are accessed
2: no start on demand when bags are accessed but still return bag contents
When creating a Request with Request::create(), some information can
come from the URI and the server variable. Until now, it was not clear
which information had precedence over the other and as a matter of fact,
this method was not consistent.
Now, information contained in the URI always take precedence over
information coming from the server array. That makes sense as the server
array is often copied from another existing Request object.
This PR was merged into the master branch.

[WIP] Kernel refactor
Currently, the handling of sub-requests (including ESI and hinclude) is mostly done in FrameworkBundle. It makes these important features harder to implement for people using only HttpKernel (like Drupal and Silex for instance).
This PR moves the code to HttpKernel instead. The code has also been refactored to allow easier integration of other rendering strategies (refs #6108).
The internal route has been re-introduced but it can only be used for trusted IPs (so for the internal rendering which is managed by Symfony itself, or by a trusted reverse proxy like Varnish for ESI handling). For the hinclude strategy, when using a controller, the URL is automatically signed (see #6463).
The usage of a listener instead of a controller to handle internal sub-requests speeds up things quite a lot as it saves one sub-request handling. In Symfony 2.0 and 2.1, the handling of a sub-request actually creates two sub-requests.
Rendering a sub-request from a controller can be done with the following code:
```jinja
{# default strategy #}
{{ render(path("partial")) }}
{{ render(controller("SomeBundle:Controller:partial")) }}
{# ESI strategy #}
{{ render(path("partial"), { strategy: 'esi' }) }}
{{ render(controller("SomeBundle:Controller:partial"), { strategy: 'esi' }) }}
{# hinclude strategy #}
{{ render(path("default1"), { strategy: 'hinclude' }) }}
```
The second commit allows to simplify the calls a little bit thanks to some nice syntactic sugar:
```jinja
{# default strategy #}
{{ render(path("partial")) }}
{{ render(controller("SomeBundle:Controller:partial")) }}
{# ESI strategy #}
{{ render_esi(path("partial")) }}
{{ render_esi(controller("SomeBundle:Controller:partial")) }}
{# hinclude strategy #}
{{ render_hinclude(path("default1")) }}
```

I've just pushed a new version of the code that actually works in my browser (but I've not yet written any unit tests). I've updated the PR description accordingly.
All comments welcome!

what about `render(controller="SomeBundle:Controller:partial", strategy="esi")`?

shouldn't we have interfaces for the UriSigner and the HttpContentRenderer ?

btw .. as mentioned in #6213 i think it would make sense to refactor the HttpCache to use a cache layer to allow more flexibility in where to cache the data (including clustering) and better invalidation. as such if you are refactoring HttpKernel .. it might also make sense to explore splitting off HttpCache.

@lsmith77 This is a totally different topic. This PR is just about moving things from FrameworkBundle to HttpKernel to make them more reusable outside of the full-stack framework.

I think this PR is almost ready now. I still need to update the docs and add some unit tests. Any other comments on the whole approach? The class names? The `controller` function thingy? The URI signer mechanism? The proxy protection for the internal controller? The proxy to handle internal routes?

Looks good to me 👍

@Crell asked me to weigh in, since i'm one of the Drupal folks who's likely to work most with this.
i think i've grokked about 60% of the big picture here, and i'm generally happy with what i see. the assumption that the HInclude strategy makes about working with templates probably isn't one that we'll be able to use (and so, would need to write our own), but that's not a big deal since the whole goal here is to make strategies pluggable.
so, yeah. +1.

Just for my information: will this PR be merged for 2.2 version? Thanks.

@winzou according to the blog post announcing the beta 1 release, yes. It is explicitly listed as being one of the reason to make it a beta instead of the first RC.

OK thanks, I've totally skipped this blog post.

I've just added a bunch of unit tests and fix some bugs I found while writing the tests.
