[TYPO3-mvc] Standalone View and hidden values in forms e.g. [__referrer][@action]

[Matthew Colton]

I wasted a lot of time because of a *two year old* bug in the Typo3. The
bug is that if setTemplatePathAndFilename is used it works perfectly but
there must be a dummy file in the original position due to a bug in
Typo3, otherwise Typo3 throws an exception. This is not required when
using a standalone view, but that on the other hand it won't work at all
for forms.
So that's how I solved the problem, just created an empty dummy file for
the action and used setTemplatePathAndFilename and everything works like
a charm, no need for Typoscript to solve the problem of altering templates.

Thank you anyway Helmut!
