[translation] Deprecated DiffOperation

## Summary:
The ``DiffOperation`` class has been deprecated and ``TargetOperation``
should be used instead, because ``DiffOperation`` has nothing to do
with 'diff', thus its class name is misleading.

Also added detailed documents for all operation interface and classes.

## Background:

The following names should have consistent meanings for all operations:

The name of ``intersection`` is temporarily introduced here to explain this issue.

* [x] ``intersection`` = source ∩ target = {x: x ∈ source ∧ x ∈ target}
* [x] ``all`` = **result of the operation, depends on the operation.**
* [x] ``new`` = all ∖ source = {x: x ∈ all ∧ x ∉ source}
* [x] ``obsolete`` = source ∖ all = {x: x ∈ source ∧ x ∉ all}

The following analysis explains why ``DiffOperation`` should be deprecated.

## Logic of ``MergeOperation``:
* [x] ``all`` = source ∪ target = {x: x ∈ source ∨ x ∈ target}
* [x] ``new`` = all ∖ source = {x: x ∈ target ∧ ∉ source}
* [x] ``obsolete`` = source ∖ all = {x: x ∈ source ∧ x ∉ source ∧ x ∉ target} = ∅

This absolutely makes sense.

## Logic of ``DiffOperation``:
* [ ] ``all`` =  intersection ∪ (target ∖ intersection) = target
* [x] ``new`` = all ∖ source = {x: x ∈ target ∧ x ∉ source}
* [x] ``obsolete`` = source ∖ all = source ∖ target = {x: x ∈ source ∧ x ∉ target}

The ``all`` part is confusing because 'diff' should either mean 'relative complement' or 'symmetric difference' operation:

### Relative Complement:
* ``all`` = source ∖ target = {x: x ∈ source ∧ x ∉ target}

### Symmetric Difference:
* ``all`` = (source ∖ target) ∪ (target ∖ source) = {x: x ∈ source ∧ x ∉ target ∨ x ∈ target ∧ x ∉ source}

### Current Logic has Nothing to do with "Diff":
* ``all`` =  intersection ∪ (target ∖ intersection) = target

So the name of ``DiffOperation`` is misleading and inappropriate.
Unfortunately, there is no corresponding set operation for this class,
so it's hard to give it an apppriate name.
From my point of view, I believe the most accurate name for this class
should be ``TargetOperation`` because its result is same as the target set.

README

What is Symfony?

Symfony is a PHP 5.3 full-stack web framework. It is written with speed and flexibility in mind. It allows developers to build better and easy to maintain websites with PHP.

Symfony can be used to develop all kind of websites, from your personal blog to high traffic ones like Dailymotion or Yahoo! Answers.

Requirements

Symfony is only supported on PHP 5.3.9 and up.

Be warned that PHP 5.3.16 has a major bug in the Reflection subsystem and is not suitable to run Symfony (https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62715)

Installation

The best way to install Symfony is to use the official Symfony Installer. It allows you to start a new project based on the version you want.

Documentation

Contributing

Symfony is an open source, community-driven project. If you'd like to contribute, please read the Contributing Code part of the documentation. If you're submitting a pull request, please follow the guidelines in the Submitting a Patch section and use Pull Request Template.

Running Symfony Tests

Information on how to run the Symfony test suite can be found in the Running Symfony Tests section.
