## BC Break: Removed `EntityManager#flush($entity)` and `EntityManager#flush($entities)`

If your code relies on single entity flushing optimisations via
`EntityManager#flush($entity)`, the signature has been changed to
`EntityManager#flush()`.

Said API was affected by multiple data integrity bugs due to the fact
that change tracking was being restricted upon a subset of the managed
entities. The ORM cannot support committing subsets of the managed
entities while also guaranteeing data integrity, therefore this
utility was removed.

The `flush()` semantics remain the same, but the change tracking will be performed
on all entities managed by the unit of work, and not just on the provided
`$entity` or `$entities`, as the parameter is now completely ignored.

The same applies to `UnitOfWork#commit($entity)`, which now is simply
`UnitOfWork#commit()`.

If you would still like to perform batching operations over small `UnitOfWork`
instances, it is suggested to follow these paths instead:

* eagerly use `EntityManager#clear()` in conjunction with a specific second level
cache configuration (see http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/latest/reference/second-level-cache.html)
* use an explicit change tracking policy (see http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/latest/reference/change-tracking-policies.html)

## BC Break: Removed ``YAML`` mapping drivers.

If your code relies on ``YamlDriver`` or ``SimpleYamlDriver``, you **MUST** change to
