Enable short array syntax by default

[snapshotpl]

As we support php >= 5.6, we can enable short array syntax in configuration by default.

Except that it breaks existing applications. Not in a functional way, but in a "why is my configuration completely rewritten on this change?" way.

What will happen is users will have long array syntax in configuration files managed by Apigiliy. When they update to a version of zf-configuration that enables short array by default, and then use Apigility to manipulate their API, these files will switch to short array notation — and something that might have been a single line of changes previously now affects several dozen lines in the file.

As such, until we do a new major version of zf-configuration, we cannot enable short array syntax by default.

We can, however, enable it by default in the skeleton in a new version, and we're planning that for the 1.4 release.

This repository has been moved to laminas-api-tools/api-tools-configuration. If you feel that this patch is still relevant, please re-open against that repository, and reference this issue. To re-open, we suggest the following workflow:

• Squash all commits in your branch (git rebase -i origin/{branch})
• Make a note of all changed files (`git diff --name-only origin/{branch}...HEAD
• Run the laminas/laminas-migration tool on the code.
• Clone laminas-api-tools/api-tools-configuration to another directory.
• Copy the files from the second bullet point to the clone of laminas-api-tools/api-tools-configuration.
• In your clone of laminas-api-tools/api-tools-configuration, commit the files, push to your fork, and open the new PR.
  We will be providing tooling via laminas/laminas-migration soon to help automate the process.
