[TYPO3-core] hardcoded typo3 directory

If typo3/ is hardcoded, instead of using TYPO3_mainDir, then it's a bug 
and should be fixed.

Nevertheless, renaming typo3/ is from my POV not a good advice, esp as 
you have to modify the constant in the TYPO3 Core files (which nobody 
should recommend!). To make this a useful and well implemented 
configuration option, there should be a way to change it through 
localconf.php. However, I don't know, if the constant is used before 
already (probably it is..).

Kind regards
Steffen
