[TYPO3-core] RFC #11474: Store separate extlist for the frontend

[Michael Stucki]

I have a few notes on this:

First, and most important: It is not acceptable to commit such changes
without documenting them accordingly. You promised to update NEWS.txt
and also the Core API, but both are still missing. In future, DO NOT
commit any code unless the documentation has been sent.

If there is no documentation until end of this week, I'm going to revert
this change therefore.

2. Can we please get rid of this notation:

| if (!($extLoadInContext = $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXT']['extList_FE'])) {

Instead, please write it this way:

| $extLoadInContext = $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXT']['extList_FE'];
| if (!$extLoadInContext) {

It is my personal preference, but I think everyone agrees that this
looks much better (and IDEs like it more anyway).

3. Please stick to the CGL when working on TYPO3core.

Attached is a patch which fixes 2) and 3). It is FYI24.
