It is able to handle classes containing both public properties and properties only accessibles trough getters / setters / issers / hassers...As it extends `AbstractNormalizer`, it supports circular reference handling, name converters and existing object population.What do you think about making this new normalizer the default one as it's the most convenient to use and the most consistent with the behavior of other components.#13120,#13252 and#13255 need to be merged to make this PR working.Commits-------0050bbb [Serializer] Introduce ObjectNormalizer
