[2.3] [Form] Renamed option "virtual" to "inherit_data" and improved handling of such forms

License of the code: MIT
Documentation PR: symfony/symfony-docs#2107
This PR renames the option "virtual" to "inherit_data" for more clarity (the old option is deprecated and usable until 2.3). It also fixes the behavior of forms having that option set.
Forms with that option set will now correctly return their parents' data from `getData()`, `getNormData()` and `getViewData()`. Furthermore, `getPropertyPath()` was fixed for forms that inherit their parent data.

dc3a680 [Form] Improved FormRenderer API to reduce the size of the function call stack during rendering

[Form] Improved FormRenderer API to decrease the function call stack
Bug fix: no
Feature addition: no
Backwards compatibility break: **yes**
Symfony2 tests pass: yes
Fixes the following tickets: #4962, #4973
Todo: -
This PR reduces the function call stack size when rendering by directly calling the methods `renderBlock` and `searchAndRenderBlock` (formerly `renderSection`) and removing the delegating methods `render(Widget|Label|Row|...)`.
It breaks BC in that PHP templates now need to pass the FormView instance to `block` (formerly `renderBlock`). This is necessary, otherwise that function may behave buggy in special circumstances.
Otherwise this PR cleans up API method and parameter names to improve clarity.
