This PR adds handling of circular references in the `Serializer` component.
The number of allowed iterations is configurable (one by default).
The behavior when a circular reference is detected is configurable. By default an exception is thrown. Instead of throwing an exception, it's possible to register a custom handler (e.g.: a Doctrine Handler returning the object ID).
Usage:
```php
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\GetSetMethodNormalizer;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Serializer;
class MyObj
{
private $id = 1312;
public function getId()
{
return $this->getId();
}
public function getMe()
{
return $this;
}
}
$normalizer = new GetSetMethodNormalizer();
$normalizer->setCircularReferenceLimit(3);
$normalizer->setCircularReferenceHandler(function ($obj) {
return $obj->getId();
});
$serializer = new Serializer([$normalizer]);
$serializer->normalize(new MyObj());
```
