[Refactor] ZF3

[weierophinney]

Hi everyone,

Some years ago I've started a big refactor of Input Filter. You can see the initial work there: zf-fr/input-filter#1

The idea was to take advantage of stateless component, by re-using refactored validator and filter components (made stateless too). It also aimed to be much faster, as well as simplify some concepts (mostly related to continue_if_empty, allow_empty... although I don't remember the exact details as it's been a long time).

I won't work on this before we have refactored the validator and filter as it would be wasted work, but I open the thread just for refernece for people wanting to erefactor this one.
