A week of symfony #583 (26 February - 4 March 2018)

This week, Symfony 2.7.42, 2.8.35, 3.4.5 and 4.0.5 maintenance versions were published. In addition, Symfony improved the accessibility of the Bootstrap 4 form theme to comply with the WCAG standard: it fixed some HTML issues, added new attributes and improved how form errors are displayed. Finally, it was proposed a way to simplify the User and UserChecker.
