[TYPO3-mvc] RFT (Request For Tests): support for TCA group fields (hurry to probably get it into 1.3.0)

Hey Kevin,

just found the time to test the dummy extension you thankfully provided. 
On testing it I first created some portals in the Backend, as well as 
some items and added relations to portals. Having a look at the MM table 
I found that Typo3 itself isn't filling the column "tablenames", and 
extbase isn't too - so this would be correct then. Also adding items in 
the Frontend worked like a charm - so I currently don't see any issue 
here and can't tell why it didn't work for you.

You also mentioned the missing update of the relation count on opposite 
fields. Just had a look and found that you can bypass that by creating a 
back reference to the portal also in the itemObject

public function createAction($portal, $newItem) {
	$portal->addItem($newItem);
	$newItem->addPortal($portal);
}
