[TYPO3-core] RFC #17420: Add LOOP cObject

I already discussed that with Xavier and my proposal was to use "input" 
and make it stdWrap aware, so that we can still add Array-related 
functions to the stdWrap toolbox that could be used by "input" later on.

The current approach without input would be doing it the other way 
around, so that LOOP would only be useful when called by the PHP code of 
an extension.

Still "input.data" would be possible, which is less misleading than just 
having "data".

Just my 2 cents
