zend-form Missing dependency to zend-servicemanager ?

Hi,

I'm using zend-form as a standalone library (in a Symfony2 project), and I realize that since this commit (introduced in v2.8.2) there is a new autoload file which creates an alias FormElementManager for either FormElementManagerV3Polyfill or FormElementManagerV2Polyfill (the latter in my case).

So here's my problem : when I run a composer update the Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle\Composer\ScriptHandler::buildBootstrap post-update command fails with this error :

PHP Fatal error:  Class 'Zend\ServiceManager\AbstractPluginManager' not found in /sites/sfwebfstore/vendor/zendframework/zend-form/src/FormElementManager/FormElementManagerV2Polyfill.php on line 28

Actually the command doesn't matter, the problem appears very soon during the autoload phase.

I suspect this error to be a consequence of the absence of zend-servicemanager as a non-dev dependency in the composer.json of this project. Indeed, considering I'm using zend-form in standalone and that zend-servicemanager isn't a dependency of any of the others packages, Zend\ServiceManager\AbstractPluginManager doesn't exists and an error appears.

I don't know if it makes sense to set zend-servicemanager as a non-dev requirement in this project, but I think it would resolve this problem (I'm not sure). If you think it's not a good idea, please help me to find a solution because I'm pretty stucked there :-)

I have had the same issue while installing zend-form with zend-expressive (fastroute+pimple+plates). Even just requiring zend-form (composer require zendframework/zend-form) and including the generated vendor/autoload.php will cause the issue. The zend-form composer.json require a file: autload/formElementManagerPolyfill.php which defines a class alias for FormElementManager based on the service manager version. Confirming the version as well: zend-form v 2.8.1 is not affected.
