ProxyManager Bridge
As of @beberlei's suggestion, I re-implemented #7527 as a new bridge to avoid possible hidden dependencies.
Everything is like #7527 except that the new namespace (and possibly package/subtree split) `Symfony\Bridge\ProxyManager` is introduced

This PR introduces lazy services along the lines of zendframework/zf2#4146
It introduces an **OPTIONAL** dependency to [ProxyManager](https://github.com/Ocramius/ProxyManager) and transitively to [`"zendframework/zend-code": "2.*"`](https://github.com/zendframework/zf2/tree/master/library/Zend/Code).
## Lazy services: why? A comprehensive example
For those who don't know what this is about, here's an example.
Assuming you have a service class like following:
```php
class MySuperSlowClass
{
public function __construct()
{
// inject large object graph or do heavy computation
sleep(10);
}
public function doFoo()
{
echo 'Foo!';
}
}
```
The DIC will hang for 10 seconds when calling:
```php
$container->get('my_super_slow_class');
```
With this PR, this can be avoided, and the following call will return a proxy immediately.
```php
$container->getDefinitions('my_super_slow_class')->setLazy(true);
$service = $container->get('my_super_slow_class');
```
The 10 seconds wait time will be delayed until the object is actually used:
```php
$service->doFoo(); // wait 10 seconds, then 'Foo!'
```
A more extensive description of the functionality can be found [here](https://github.com/Ocramius/ProxyManager/blob/master/docs/lazy-loading-value-holder.md).
## When do we need it?
Lazy services can be used to optimize the dependency graph in cases like:
* Webservice endpoints
* Db connections
* Objects that cause I/O in general
* Large dependency graphs that are not always used
This could also help in reducing excessive service location usage as I've explained [here](http://ocramius.github.com/blog/zf2-and-symfony-service-proxies-with-doctrine-proxies/).
## Implementation quirks of this PR
There's a couple of quirks in the implementation:
* `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\CompilerBuilder#createService` is now public because of the limitations of PHP 5.3
* `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Dumper\PhpDumper` now with extra mess!
* The proxies are dumped at the end of compiled containers, therefore the container class is not PSR compliant anymore

What is Symfony2?
Symfony2 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
Symfony2 is only supported on PHP 5.3.3 and up.
Be warned that PHP versions before 5.3.8 are known to be buggy and might not work for you:
-
before PHP 5.3.4, if you get "Notice: Trying to get property of non-object", you've hit a known PHP bug (see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52083 and https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50027);
-
before PHP 5.3.8, if you get an error involving annotations, you've hit a known PHP bug (see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55156).
-
PHP 5.3.16 has a major bug in the Reflection subsystem and is not suitable to run Symfony2 (https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62715)
Installation
The best way to install Symfony2 is to download the Symfony Standard Edition available at http://symfony.com/download.
Documentation
The "Quick Tour" tutorial gives you a first feeling of the framework. If, like us, you think that Symfony2 can help speed up your development and take the quality of your work to the next level, read the official Symfony2 documentation.
Contributing
Symfony2 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 Symfony2 Tests
Information on how to run the Symfony2 test suite can be found in the Running Symfony2 Tests section.
