Can you explain the rationale behind this change?

Mainly code readability. "Processing" a form is very ambiguous, while handling a request should explain better what happens under the hood.

Example 1 (without HttpFoundation):
$form = $formFactory->createForm(...);

$form->handleRequest();

if ($form->isValid()) {
    // ...
}

vs.

$form = $formFactory->createForm(...);

$form->process();

if ($form->isValid()) {
    // ...
}
Example 2 (with HttpFoundation):
$form = $formFactory->createForm(...);

$form->handleRequest($request);

if ($form->isValid()) {
    // ...
}

vs.

$form = $formFactory->createForm(...);

$form->process($request);

if ($form->isValid()) {
    // ...
}

I guess the term "processor" had been used until [this PR comes](#7732), but hadn't been renamed properly at the time.
And I think "handler" sounds more relevant to me anyway.
