Follow-up to #2578805: Upgrade to Symfony 2.7.5

Symfony 2.7.6 is now released. Symfony 2.7.6 Released.

Have a skim of the issue summary on #2454393: Upgrade to Symfony 2.6.5 for a better overview of why upgrading point releases is a good idea :).

This DOES have security fixes, so I have initially labeled it as Critical, but I understand that might be changed.

Changelog changelog.

Reference: https://www.drupal.org/core/beta-changes
Issue category Task because it is an external library upgrade.
Issue priority Critical because it is an external library update which should be completed before final release, and it has security fixes. See #2400407: [meta] Ensure vendor (PHP) libraries are on latest stable release.
Disruption Not disruptive.

This is a really strong point to make it critical.

Priority: Critical » Major

All of those are part of the security component, which we don't use. They aren't security fixes itself.
