Update Limesurvey Template Engine to use Twig

Currently Limesurvey uses its own custom coded template engine. Since the framework used for Limesurvey ("Yii") supports the Twig template engine we plan to replace the custom coded template engine with Twig's template engine for better code maintenance and embedding with the Yii framework.

Steps:

1. Check how the current Limesurvey templates are structured
2. Dig into the related code to find out how the underlying Limesurvey template engine works
3. Get familiar with the structure of Twig templates
4. Test-edit one of the shipped templates and make it twig-compatible
5. Embed the Twig template engine into Limesurvey
6. Test your test template and the Twig template engine carefully
7. Adjust further shipped Limesurvey templates

Skills

You should know how a template engine and framework works. In addition to that HTML and CSS skills are required for adjusting the shipped Limesurvey templates. You should also know about PHP because switching the template engine will require adjustments of the Limesurvey source code as well.
