Description: 

Local tasks and actions are now blocks so that they could possibly made cacheable, and they don't have to be generated even though they wouldn't be used.

Previously there was a variable in page.html.twig:

{{ tabs }}
{{ action_links }}

Now in order to print tabs and action links you'll have to create a region where tabs and local action blocks can be printed. More info about creating a region here

Note that if you have any SimpleTests for your contrib modules that interact with local tasks or actions, the default testing theme (Classy) does not provide these new blocks by default, and your existing tests will break. To solve this, see this fix in the page_manager module tests to resolve it in your test classes.
