----------
[Validator] Improve support for optional/required fields in Collection constraint
Bug fix: no
Feature addition: yes
Backwards compatibility break: no
Symfony2 tests pass: yes
Fixes the following tickets: none
Todo: none
Improves the `Collection` constraint to test on a more granular level if entries of the collection are optional or required. Before this could only be set using the "allowExtraFields" and "allowMissingFields" options, but these are very general and limited.
The former syntax - without Optional or Required - is still supported.
Usage:
$array = array(
'name' => 'Bernhard',
'birthdate' => '1970-01-01',
);
$validator->validate($array, null, new Collection(array(
'name' => new Required(),
'birthdate' => new Optional(),
));
// you can also pass additional constraints for the fields
$validator->validate($array, null, new Collection(array(
'name' => new Required(array(
new Type('string'),
new MinLength(3),
)),
'birthdate' => new Optional(new Date()),
));

@bschussek I've rewritten a lot of test code for Collection validator in 2.0 branch and also had modified validator itself, as it had a bug #3078, consider waiting with this PR till fabpot will merge 2.0 back into master, as there will be code conflicts :)

Does it helps to #2615 ?
