A week of symfony #602 (9-15 July 2018)

This week, the upcoming Symfony 4.2 version added a config option to enable the UTF8 mode in routes and improved the Cache component to allow using PDO databases. Meanwhile, form profiling was optimized to reduce its memory footprint and Symfony Contracts were created as a set of abstractions extracted out of the Symfony components.
