Hello,
`workflow:dump` exports workflows in `dot` format. To me, this format is not the easiest and not the simplest to use. Styles and logic are mixed together which makes it hard to read.
[PlantUML](http://plantuml.com/) is a tool based on Graphviz like Dot but that
generates nicer diagrams, more readable and most of all easier to adapt to your
documentation. Just copy and paste the PUML on the website you will see the rendering live.
Also, there is a [PHPStorm Plugin](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7017-plantuml-integration) and [plenty of integration](http://plantuml.com/running) of this format.
This PR adds 2 options
* a `--dump-format=puml` option to the `workflow:dump` command to generate the workflows in PlantUML.
* a `--puml-transition-format=square|arrow` option to the `workflow:dump` command to generate the workflows in PlantUML using a square shape or arrow for the transition. (see below)
The conversion requires the PlantUML JAR, and can be used like that:
```bash
php bin/console workflow:dump pull_request --dump-format=puml | java -jar plantuml.jar -p > workflow.png
```
> don't forget the `-p` to enable the "piping"
Here is an example with `pull_request` workflow of the documentation (with no style and no marking):
```
@startuml
title pull_request
state start <<initial>>
state coding
state travis
state review
state merged
state closed
start --> travis: submit
coding --> travis: update
travis --> travis: update
review --> travis: update
travis --> review: wait_for_review
review --> coding: request_change
review --> merged: accept
review --> closed: reject
closed --> review: reopen

As PlantUML let us define styles, I have provided some by default that the user can override.
Adding some marking:
```bash
php bin/console workflow:dump pull_request travis review --dump-format=puml
```
will give us:
```

Which gives you that:

With `square` as transition, it gives you that:

Hope you will find that interesting!
