Added a new section to the page templating/global_vars using a EVListener

[appeltaert]

Added another option for injecting variables into templates through the use of a event listener, also added a DC/removal notice on twigs getGlobals

[appeltaert]

Ok, if anyone wants to help me out on this syntax error please.. I see no problems.

The syntax error is caused by the underscore at the end of the :doc: link.
Something like this is fine:

page about :doc:`/event_dispatcher`.

Hey @appeltaert!

Thanks for opening this. Unfortunately, I don't like the solution - because it won't work for most people (and even for people that use @Template, it won't work if they have some templates that don't use this :).

But, you're 100% right that getGlobals() is deprecated and so we need to stop recommending it! I think we should just remove this entire Using a Twig Extension section. I think the previous config section is flexible enough, as you can inject entire services as global variables if you really need to.

Could you make that change?

Thanks!
