[TYPO3-core] RFC #14719: Automatically create ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL file when 1-2-3 Install Tool is used

[Jeff Segars]

Hey guys,
This is a SVN patch request.

Type: (mini) Feature, Usability

Bugtracker Reference: http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=14719

Branches: Trunk

Problem:
When a new user first installs TYPO3, they must create the 
ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL file before installation can continue. For a 
friendlier first install, it would be nice to automatically create the 
file and go directly to the 1-2-3 Install Tool

Solution:
Just before tslib_fe redirects to the 1-2-3 Install Tool, we can create 
the missing ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL file.

Additional Notes:
* This file will be created anytime there's a redirect to the 1-2-3 
Install Tool and not just on initial install. In practice, this should 
only happen for the initial install but there's no check to prevent it 
at other times if the db connection info is missing (if anyone thinks 
this a problem).

* typo3/install/index.php handles the check for the ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL 
file and the rest of TYPO3 is not yet initialized at this point so that 
forces us to create the file as part of the tslib_fe redirect or do a 
more complex rework of typo3/install/index.php.

Thanks,
Jeff
