[TYPO3-core] RFC 17532: Add support for file pointers in t3lib_befunc->getFlexFormDS

[Rens Admiraal]

Test extension added to the issue (http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=17532)

After installing this extension and including the static data, a new 
CType 'Test block' is added. With patch v2 this element has a flexform 
when a datastructure is selected.
