[TYPO3-core] More strict convention for typoscript naming

That's sad to say but this is totally true. People and agencies
deactivate the deprecation log, update later and get a blank website.

To be pragmatic I think this is the best option but we've demonstrated
that great results may come from the community. So if someone feels it
removing a few inconsistencies in a sensible way, improving the
t3editor, acting as a guardian for new features introducing TypoScript,
... then you're welcome !!!

And perhaps Philipps' proposal should be investigated to see where it
leads. But for sure TYPO3 should not be slow down even more :)

Kind regards
