[TYPO3-core] RFC: #12591: Make EXT: syntax consistent in core

[Benjamin Mack]

Hi Steffen,

well, what I would consider is to have a method in t3lib_div or better 
t3lib_extMgm that's called

t3lib_extMgm::resolveExtPrefix($path, (bool) $returnAbsolutePath)

and that does this.

$path = 'EXT:myext/filepath.jpg"

to

$path = '/path/to/typo3conf/ext/myext/filepath.jpg'

but can also be fed with $path = 'typo3conf/ext/myext/filepath.jpg" 
(basically a check if the string starts with "EXT:"

and then we make use of this method consistently throughout the Core. 
What do you think?

All the best,
Benni.
