Entity manager persist and flush

[hhamon]

Hello,

I have added a shortcut method to the EntityManager class: persistAndFlush()

Generally, developers need to persist and flush one single entity at a time. That means, we need to write two lines of code in controllers. The goal is to reduce a bit the number of lines of code by calling one single line of code, which is responsible to persist and flush the entity immediatly.

I didn't manage to run the tests suite so I cannot guarantee tests pass. Please, run the tests suite before applying the patch if you are convinced of its added value to the API.

This is not really a good idea.

This encourages people to use persistAndFlush() on multiple new entities in a single request, leading to massive overhead. The separation is included for that reason that this are two completly different operations and the user should be confronted with this.

Ok no problem.
