The RFC requires a FormField implementation to override $schemaDataType,
but its defined on the trait - which can't be redefined by a field subclass.
In the end, the trait was never designed to be reuseable on classes other than FormField.
We need to admit that architecturally, we'll have to add all that API weight to the base FormField
class because of the way forms are structured in SilverStripe (mainly due to a missing layer
of indirection in getCMSFields implementations).
Also implemented the $schemaDataType on fields where its known.

PHP 7 seems to suffer a segfault when using SplFixedArray. Since LRU is
deprecated anyway, I’m not too fussed about getting to the bottom of
this issue, however, if it turns out that SplFixedArray is corrected in
PHP 7.0.0 stable or a future patch release, we could update this check.
API: Deprecate SS_Datetime.
The DBField subclasses are have all been renamed to start with “DB” and
be in the SilverStripe\Model\FieldType namespace. To keep DataObject
definitions concise, the original short variations of their names are
preserved as service definitions. Most of the field generation code
doesn’t need to change, but where field classes are referenced directly,
changes will be needed.
SS_Datetime, which is commonly referenced outside the model system
itself, has been preserved as a subclass of DBDatetime. This has been
marked as deprecated and can be removed in SilverStripe 5.
A few places that referred to $db and $casting values weren’t using
the Injector to instantiate the relevant classes. This meant that the
remapping we have created as part of moving classes into a namespace
didn’t work.
The tidiest fix for this will be to update the namespace/naming of all
field types to follow this pattern. I’ve broken out the minimum
necessary to support PHP7 as its own commit, in case anyone needs to
backport that (e.g. if someone wanted to patch a SS 3 system to get
PHP7 support).
Rather than introduce a new API for fieldtype namespace simplification,
I’ve just used Injector. We may come up with a new configuration tool
that is better, but this has the advantage of existing now, and as such
I think is a good first step.
Note that the best solution to this will be to remove the use of
SimpleTest entirely. This is quick fix is intended to help us get PHP7
tests running without needing to cross that bridge.
API Implemented recursive versioned actions (publish, etc)
API Un-deprecate delete batch action
API Changed Versioned getters and setters for stages
BUG Inject query parameters during DataObject construction to prevent incorrect lazy loading
In the html editor, when inserting a 'Download a file' link without selecting a file to link to, no link should be inserted. Currently is inserting a link to an undefined file id: [file_link,id=undefined]
