Fixed Default template parameters not available in API requests

[AddonsLab]

Affected version

2.2.7 Patch 1

Some API requests render templates, for example, /nodes endpoint renders the content of Page nodes. If these pages happen to use variables otherwise available in templates, e.g. $xf.visitor the variables are not available and may also log an error if a method is called, e.g. $xf.visitor.canStartConversation().

To reproduce the issue create any Page node with the following content:

Hello {$xf.visitor.user_id}!

The expected outcome is "Hello 0!", the actual outcome is "Hello !".

The reason the variables are missing is that App::getGlobalTemplateData() method is never called in API requests and its output is not added to the default template parameters.
