[TYPO3-core] RFC #16334: Make FlexForms editable via TSConfig and group access lists

[Ernesto Baschny [cron IT]]

Hi Kai,

this feature is really amazing! Especially the part of manipulating the
definitions of Flexform using the regular "TCEFORM" syntax in PageTS =>
fantastic!

+1 by reading and testing.

Attached is a slightly modified patch according to our CGL, but the code
was already very beautiful: We decided to use single spaces and include
the $varname in the phpdoc @param.

After discussing yesterday with Kai and Steffen, we also need an Upgrade
Wizard for this:

The flexform fields waren't "excluded" until now. Several extensions
flexform.xml definition which <excluded>1</excluded>, which wasn't being
applied until this patch. As soon as an user upgrades, their users won't
be able to see those fields anymore, since they have to be excplicitly
activated in the ACL (like any other exclude field...).

Thus the Upgrade Wizard should go through the user+group list and add
the flexform fields. The admin can then remove them at wish from the ACL
definition.

Cheers,
Ernesto
