[TYPO3-core] RFC 15090: Bug: login with a BE User somewhere else on the page tree

I could successfully test it however I do not like the patch as the 
version that should be committed. Problems:

- "-1" should not be proposed as the documentation says:

  * NOTE: [table][ctrl][rootLevel] goes NOT for pages. Apart from that 
if rootLevel is true, records can ONLY be created on rootLevel. If it's 
false records can ONLY be created OUTSIDE rootLevel

meaning you should not test for != 1 but for TRUE/FALSE and put '0' 
instead of '-1'. Furthermore, by having rootLevel set to '0', I cannot 
create any be_user anymore, either at root or in a sysfolder unless (in 
a sysfolder) there is already a be_user there, I can then use the "+" on 
the table but not the "+" in the main toolbar.
