[TYPO3-core] FYI72: Feature #10374: Add helper functions for additional frontend editing controllers and views

[Jeff Segars]

After some of the recent problems with FYI commits and due to the fact 
that everyone has been busy with the security issues, I'm giving this 
FYI72 a little bump before committing later today.

Thanks,
Jeff
