A week of symfony #504 (22-28 August 2016)

This week Symfony development activity focused on small code refactorings, such as providing forward compatibility with PHP 7.2, and minor improvements related to DX (developer experience). Meanwhile, the upcoming Symfony 3.2 version started to use relative paths in template paths cache and improved the profiler to automatically expand the form nodes that contains children with errors.
