Title: [WIP][Serializer] split off an EncoderInterface and NormalizerInterface from SerializerInte

Bug fix: no
Feature addition: no
Backwards compatibility break: yes (but not inside a stable API)
Symfony2 tests pass: yes
Fixes the following tickets: #2153

The purpose is to make it easier for other implementations that only implement parts of the interface due to different underlying approaches like the JMSSerializerBundle.

@schmittjoh: what do you think about the supportsSerialization()/supportsDeserialization() methods?
