Research direction

Start by inspecting XML\md\EntityDescriptor, Configuration\EntityIdProvider, and SAML2\Response\Processor to understand the existing object boundaries. No files or tests are named, and the issue does not define the converter's scope or acceptance criteria; clarify the design and expected conversions before implementation.

Description

Hi, I'm using this library without simplesamlphp, to implement deep inspection of SAML in a proxy. I'd like to make use of SAML2\Response\Processor using metadata, which means writing my own converter to build SAML2\Configuration* objects from XML\md* objects. Would this be of interest to the community? If so I'll try to write as part of the library and submit a pull req.
