Update Drupal core to 8.4.7 via Composer. Security update; I *think* we've
been lucky to get away with this so far, as we don't support self-registration
which seems to be used by the so-called "drupalgeddon 2" attack that 8.4.5
was vulnerable to.

use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface;

/**
 * Defines an interface for entity handlers.

 * This interface can be implemented by entity handlers that require
 * dependency injection.

interface EntityHandlerInterface {

  /**
   * Instantiates a new instance of this entity handler.
   *
   * This is a factory method that returns a new instance of this object. The
   * factory should pass any needed dependencies into the constructor of this

   * a new instance of this object; that is, it may not implement a singleton.
   *
   * @param \Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface $container

   * @param \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeInterface $entity_type

   *   A new instance of the entity handler.
