[TYPO3-core] RFC #12491: Feature: Reports: Allow multiple providers for each status collection

[Francois Suter]

REMINDER

This one has to go into 4.3 final and requires just a +1 by anyone.

> This is an SVN patch request.
> 
> Type: (New) Feature
> 
> Bugtracker references:
> http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=12491
> 
> Branches:
> Trunk (or 4.3 and trunk, depending on when it goes in)
> 
> Problem:
> When groups of statuses were introduced in the status report (Reports 
> module) it was made so that there can be only one class providing 
> statuses for a given group (e.g. "Security" or "System"). This means 
> that it is impossible to provide additional statuses to the status 
> report without creating a new group.
> 
> Solution:
> Change the status provider registration syntax with an extra 
> "dimension", so that several providers can be registered for the same 
> status group.
> The attached patch does this and puts it into practice by moving the 
> TYPO3 version status back to the Reports module (from the Install Tool), 
> which is more logical anyway.
> 
> Notes:
> 1) Although this is a new feature, it was allowed by Olly as he agrees 
> that we should change this API before it's too late.
> 2) When this patch is committed, the status provided by extbase must be 
> updated too.
> 
> Cheers
