[TYPO3-v4] Deprecation of t3lib_div::testInt() in TYPO3 4.6

I raised the problem quite some time ago and IIRC, we agreed on a
two-step deprecation for one of those highly used method (don't remember
which one and don't want to search right now), something like, it is
deprecated in 4.6 but flood log only starting from 4.7.

Now, concerning this very case, there is a wiki entry that shows how to
do it "the right way" while supporting very old TYPO3 version and
cutting-edge ones without flooding the deprecation log. You like it or
not but it works!

While reading it, I found again which method has been deprecated in two
phases:

t3lib_div::int_from_ver()

Cheers
