[TYPO3-core] RFC #16318: Enable FlashMessages to fade out after delay

Also after testing: I think this behavior is more annoying than having 
the messages visible all the time. Making the content jump upwards after 
5 seconds is IMHO bad behavior.

Another thing: Adding this functionality to the FlashMessageQueue 
applies it only to sessionStored messages, doesn't it? So messages, 
which are outputted directly, would not disappear - resulting in some OK 
messages staying and some disappearing.
Solution would be to always add the fade-out JS code and the severity 
check in the FlashMessage class.

What I still don't get: Why are the JS FlashMessages something 
different? They look the same, so from a user side, they *are* the same 
as the "static" message (besides the fact that they fade in from top:0 
and they fade out again).
For what are they supposed to be used?

Issue for the usability team to let them decide, what's good/bad behavior?

Kind regards
Steffen
