[FLOW3-general] array and property mapping

Having results in an array sounds little bit going away from Domain 
Driven Design.

However if you need the results as simple as key => value then you can 
try executing a DQL query and hydrate resutls as an array. To do this 
try extending your repository class to 
"TYPO3\Flow\Persistence\Doctrine\Repository" and then using 
$this->entityManager->createQuery('DQL')->execute(params, 
\Doctrine\ORM\Query::HYDRATE_ARRAY) you will get flat array result 
based on your select clause.

Note: When you use DQL queries you will not get benefits of some 
ViewHelpers like Paginate which are based on the default QOM of Flow.
