Customizeable templates

[nils-werner]

Spurred by a thread on the forum I went ahead and implemented a template-overloading system for 2.4. It enables developers to copy any of the templates in symphony/template/ into workspace/template/ and modify them to their needs. May it be a custom fatal error page style or custom DataSource skeleton, any of the templates can be changed.

The commits to implement this feature are in my templates branch. What do you think, is this a feature we even wanted?

Yep, this is great to have. It's something we implemented in the-version-formerly-known-as-S3 (but not widely known) and it's great to see this functionality introduced in S2.

@nils-werner, this is a pretty safe addition to the core, and it adds a lot of flexibility. Did you want to submit a PR for 2.3 now that the template naming updates have been committed?

[nils-werner]

I've just rebased that branch.

It's working for me again but could you please have a second look if I made any mistakes as it was quite merge conflict-heavy?

[brendo]

Thanks for rebasing, makes it much clearer! It looks like you've got most, I'll pull in a give a more thorough testing before merging. Thanks again!

[brendo]

Pulled, updated, merged, pushed. Thanks!
