[Validator] Improve regexp for Credit Cards and some more tests

Bug fix: yes
Feature addition: no
Backwards compatibility break: no
Symfony2 tests pass: yes
Fixes the following tickets:
Todo: Ensure these regexps are proper (credit card validation is always a pain)
License of the code: MIT
Documentation PR:

Regarding Cases excluded from new Regular Expressions:

- Credit card lengths should be respected, these regexp cover lengths in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_card_number
- Visa length can only be 16 and 13 (older ones)
- Diners Cards starting by 5 come from a joint venture between Diners Club and MasterCard, and should be processed like a MasterCard (according to http://www.regular-expressions.info/creditcard.html).
- There seems to be JCB cards starting by 2131 and 1800, I could find them is some places, also found these numbers being tested in Credit Card generators, but some people don't cover them. I don't know their story either

Any comments will be much appreciated!

Thanks for working on this. It would be very valuable if you can add information about these regexes as comments (with links to relevant sources -- like what you've done in the PR description). Thanks.

Always glad to be able to contribute a little bit

@fabpot you mean @link / @see PHPDoc inside CardSchemeValidator.php? Or further comments in this discussion before adding them?

The more information we can add in the class, the better it is.

I've added comments and included code from #6603 as I've said there. If you need something else, please let me know, once this is merged, #6603 can also be closed

Can you keep the commit from #6603 to keep ownership?

I actually have thought about that... let me try my git skills :)
