A week of symfony #560 (18-24 September 2017)

This week Symfony continued polishing and merging new features before the "feature freeze" deadline at the end of this month: now it's possible to create kernels that define compiler passes, routes and services can be configured with a fluent PHP DSL and all services and aliases are now private by default.
