• Layouts have access to local variables passed to render.

  This fixes #31680 which was a regression in Rails 5.1.

  Mike Dalessio

• Argument errors related to strict locals in templates now raise an ::ActionView::StrictLocalsError, and all other argument errors are reraised as-is.

  Previously, any ArgumentError raised during template rendering was swallowed during strict local error handling, so that an ArgumentError unrelated to strict locals (e.g., a helper method invoked with incorrect arguments) would be replaced by a similar ArgumentError with an unrelated backtrace, making it difficult to debug templates.

  Now, any ArgumentError unrelated to strict locals is reraised, preserving the original backtrace for developers.

  Also note that ::ActionView::StrictLocalsError is a subclass of ArgumentError, so any existing code that rescues ArgumentError will continue to work.

  Fixes #52227.

• Enable DependencyTracker to evaluate renders with trailing interpolation.
