Title: [Security] [WIP] Add documentation for the Security Component

This is a work in progress - I am writing documentation for the Security Component.

My goals:

- Describe the component "as stand-alone as possible", so no assumptions are being made about the framework used (like the Symfony framework, using the SecurityBundle, or the Silex micro-framework, using the SecurityServiceProvider).
- Write (in general) about the available classes and relevant interfaces inside the component.
- Show ways of extending the component's behavior.
- Give a more detailed overview of the authentication and authorization process, so users may better understand what's happening (aside from knowing how to configure it in a Symfony app, the Book describes this very well).

Though the documentation is still in a very early stage, I already send this pull request, so everyone knows I'm working on it (and maybe there are some people who would like to collaborate, since this appears to be quite an undertaking...).

Any suggestions are welcome by the way!
