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.

/**
 * Rebuilds the route information and dumps it.
 *
 * Rebuilding the route information is the process of gathering all routing data
 * from .routing.yml files, creating a
 * \Symfony\Component\Routing\RouteCollection object out of it, and dispatching
 * that object as a \Drupal\Core\Routing\RouteBuildEvent to all registered
 * listeners. After that, the \Symfony\Component\Routing\RouteCollection object
 * is used to dump the data. Examples of a dump include filling up the routing
 * table, auto-generating Apache mod_rewrite rules, or auto-generating a PHP
 * matcher class.
