[TYPO3-core] The documentation patch has landed :-)

The point is, "this patch is not maintained anymore". I don't see the
point of providing this file as it cannot apply at all now that we
namespaced everything and having a patch which is not maintained is not
good at all.

What about keeping this paragraph (for the sake of documentation and
explaining how things work) but linking class.tslib_fe.php.diff (in doc)
to the version we can find in Git's history?
