Support for @EntityListeners

Now subscribers are called for ALL entities, to increase the performance we should allow the configuration listeners for entities that need them.

The @EntityListeners annotation specifies the callback listener classes to be used for an entity or mapped superclass. The @EntityListeners annotation may be applied to an entity class or mapped superclass.

The listenner callbacks methods are annotated by the current callback annotations (@PreUpdate, @PrePersist, etc...)

Example :

/**
 * @EntityListeners({"ContractSubscriber"})
 */
class CompanyContract
{
}

class ContractSubscriber
{
    /**
     * @PrePersist
     */
    public function prePersistHandler(CompanyContract $contract)
    {
        // do something
    }

    /**
     * @PostPersist
     * Most of cases just the entity is needed.
     * as a second parameter LifecycleEventArgs allow access to the entity manager.
     */
    public function postPersistHandler(CompanyContract $contract, LifecycleEventArgs $args)
    {
        // do something
    }
}

$contract = new CompanyFlexContract();
// do something

$em->persist($contract);
