This is a controversial topic that have been mentioned before. We recently had some discussions on Slack about it and the community not in an agreement. This was asked back in 2014 already.
Im making this PR again, because I think this will help more people than it hurts to keep the tests in the "dist" version.
### Reasons for keeping the tests with the source
* You can look at the tests to understand how the code works
* It is convenient
In the past there were an argument of people might depend on Symfony's classes in Tests. That is no longer the case since we moved reusable classes from Tests to Test.
### Reasons for removing them (merging this PR)
* There should be difference between `composer update --prefer-source` and `composer update --prefer-dist`
* Smaller packages when deploying with Docker or on Serverless.
* Static analysis tools will not complain on PHP syntax errors in our tests ([example](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/4.4/src/Symfony/Component/DependencyInjection/Tests/Fixtures/xml/xml_with_wrong_ext.php))
## How to decide?
