[TYPO3-core] RFC: Fix use of document.location

[Karsten Dambekalns]

Hi.

Type: cleanup

Problem:
The BE makes heavy use of JavaScript to change the shown URL. This is in the 
majority of places done by setting a value on document.location. Depending on 
the sources used this is either deprecated, read-only, nonsense or 
non-existing. It works, but has a bitter taste to it.

Solution:
Using window.location.href instead is definitely the better choice. In cases 
where a nother frame is adressed one should use something like 
top.location.href or someframe.location.href.

Additionally window.location.hash should be used when just setting another 
anchor on the same page (one place I found).

The attached (long but simple) patch changes all uses of document.location to 
the new syntax.
