A week of symfony #561 (25 September - 1 October 2017)

This was the last week before Symfony 3.4 feature freeze period. That's why lots of pending new features were merged (including a new Argon2i password encoder, a better integration of the Lock component and a new minimalist default PSR-3 logger) and some existing features were deprecated (including HTTP Digest authentication and security ACL).
