This PR adds a new Normalizer for the Serializer component: **`PropertyNormalizer`**.
Currently the only normalizer is `GetSetMethodNormalizer`, which calls getters and setters. This new serializer uses the properties values directly.
This is especially useful if you write a webservice and take/return very simple DTO (Data Transfer Objects) which role is only to act like a "named" `stdClass`. Every property is public (the class doesn't contain any logic), and mapping that to an array is pretty easy.
This normalizer takes into account public, but also *private* and *protected* properties.
FYI I've based most of the code of `GetSetMethodNormalizer`.
