[TYPO3-core] What to do with extensions on sprint releases?

[Markus Klein]

I would refrain from opening up TER uploads for future version numbers.
Hence, allow 7.x uploads when 7 LTS is released.

TER should generally support branches for extensions.

For the snapshot releases I stick to my proposal.
I would not add an Install Tool setting again. Constraints are there to be checked and not to be generally disabled by some global setting which 90% of the users are not even aware of.
So let's disable the version constraint check in EM codewise for the snapshot releases only.

Kind regards
Markus
