Autoloader refactoring
Bug fix: no
Feature addition: yes
Backwards compatibility break: no
Symfony2 tests pass: [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/stof/symfony.png?branch=autoloader_refactoring)](http://travis-ci.org/stof/symfony)
As discussed in #3623, I added a new ClassLoader instead of modifying the UniversalClassLoader, to be able to use the method names without BC concerns. The new class works the same than the composer autoloader regarding the handling of fallbacks, to be able to reuse namespace maps generated by composer.
```php
<?php
// autoload.php
require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/symfony/class-loader/Symfony/Component/ClassLoader/ClassLoader.php';
$loader = new Symfony\Component\ClassLoader\ClassLoader();
$map = require __DIR__.'/vendor/.composer/autoload_namespaces.php';
$loader->addPrefixes($map);
$loader->register();
```
Differences with the composer class loader:
- Composer's ``add`` method is named ``addPrefix`` in the Symfony ClassLoader
- the methods related to the class map are removed as Symfony has a separate laoder for class maps
- the ``addPrefixes`` method is added, accepting a namespace map.
I also added a new ApcClassLoader which uses composition instead of inheriting from a class loader, which makes it far more easier to reuse (we could wrap a Composer autoloader with it for instance).
```php
<?php
$composerLoader = require __DIR__.'/vendor/.composer/autoload.php';
// no need to require the file manually as Composer already registered its autoloader
$cachedLoader = new Symfony\Component\ClassLoader\ApcClassLoader('autoload.my_app', $composerLoader);
$cachedLoader->register();
// unregister the Composer autoloader as we wrapped it in the ApcClassLoader
$composerLoader->unregister();
```
TODO:
- refactor the Debug class loader to use composition too to be able to support different class loaders

Can you update the CHANGELOG and the UPGRADE file accordingly?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stof at 2012-04-02T16:47:43Z
I added a note in the CHANGELOG. There is nothing to add in the UPGRADE file as the change is fully BC (I did not change the UniversalClassLoader at all so it can still be used).
I'm working on the Debug loader right now so please wait a bit before merging

Here is a new DebugClassLoader using composition too. this way, it is able to support the UniversalClassLoader, the ApcUniversalClassLoader (without dropping the use of APC as done previously), the new ClassLoader, the new ApcClassLoader and even the composer autoloader.
I'm not sure about the use of ``method_exists`` as it could break if an autoloader implements a protected ``findFile`` method (crappy PHP 😢) but hardcoding the supported classes would be a pain and requiring an interface would make the autoloaders more difficult to use (as the interface would need to be required first) and would drop the support of the composer autoloader.
Unlike the ApcUniversalClassLoader, ApcClassLoader uses composition,
meaning it can be used to wrap any object providing a findFile($class)
method. Both the UniversalClassLoader and the new ClassLoader follow
this convention. It can also be used to wrap the Composer autoloader.
The new ClassLoader does not differentiate namespaced classes and
PEAR-like classes like the UniversalClassLoader does as the PEAR
format is a subset of PSR-0.
The new loader registers fallbacks by adding a location for an empty
prefix, as done in Composer. This allows using namespaces map generated
by Composer without any special processing on them.

added basic README files for all components and bridges
heavily based on http://fabien.potencier.org/article/49/what-is-symfony2 and the official Symfony2 documentation

Great work. For syntax highlighting on the PHP snippets, you could add "php" after the three backticks.

Nice job, but you also need to add `<?php`
ex :
``` php
<?php
use Symfony\Component\DomCrawler\Crawler;
$crawler = new Crawler();
$crawler->addContent('<html><body><p>Hello World!</p></body></html>');
print $crawler->filter('body > p')->text();
```

@lsmith77 Well done! This makes consumption of individual components that much easier, *especially* now that `composer.json` files have been added.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lsmith77 at 2011/11/04 01:18:23 -0700
ok .. fixed the issues you mentioned @fabpot
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lsmith77 at 2011/11/11 15:00:27 -0800
@fabpot anything else left? seems like an easy merge .. and imho there is considerable benefit for our efforts to spread the word about the components with this PR merged.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

You know, it might be a nice idea to put a link to the documentation for each component if there is some at symfony.com
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lsmith77 at 2011/11/12 00:59:14 -0800
i did that in some. but i might have missed a few places.

Pretty excited with this.

by dbu at 2011/11/24 00:02:50 -0800
is there anything we can help with to make this ready to be merged?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lsmith77 at 2011/12/18 02:39:23 -0800
@fabpot: seriously .. if you are not going to deliver something "better" and don't provide a reason what is wrong with this .. then its beyond frustrating. i obviously do not claim that these README's are perfect (and certainly still no replacement for proper documentation), but I do claim that in their current form they are a radical step forward to potential users of the Symfony2 components.

@fabpot @stof any suggestions? need this kind of badly
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

for me it is fine. I guess you need to wait the end of @fabpot's holydays to see it merged.

Added tests in the hope it will make it in soon :)

Any other requests / suggestions ?

could you rebase the PR ? Github says that it conflicts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Should be rebased now or that is what git cli says :)

And squashed.
A class in Symfony2 can be loaded by four different mechanisms:
* bootstrap.php: This file contains classes that are always required and
needed very early in the request handling;
* classes.php: This file contains classes that are always required and
managed by extensions via addClassesToCompile();
* MapFileClassLoader: This autoloader uses a map of class/file to load
classes (classes are managed by extensions via addClassesToAutoloadMap(),
and should contain often used classes);
* UniversalAutolaoder: This autoloader loads all other classes (it's the
slowest one).
