Note that our usage of `$asSingleton` in `get()` is fine. Quote from the PSR:
> Two successive calls to get with the same identifier SHOULD return the same value. However, depending on the implementor design and/or user configuration, different values might be returned, so user SHOULD NOT rely on getting the same value on 2 successive calls.

Was missed from the removal of PHPUnitWrapper:
a16588aac3
Original reason for this: Don't fail dev/build without phpunit
When you install a SilverStripe project with "composer install --no-dev",
the PHPUnit dependency gets skipped. Which means the PHPUnit_Framework_TestListener
interface doesn't exist. The SilverStripe Classloader might still include
SapphireTestReporter which relies on this interface, which then breaks execution.
SS3 fixed this by NOT defining the class in the first place.
This has been removed in 2fdc96a0de (diff-82b3f89e8e5ae090c93e9c3a2ba8aa36L3),
as part of a PHPUnit version upgrade - but without an apparent fix to replace this.

Created a generic DataObject FormFactory interface that can be substituted in place of getCMSFields. Different FormFactories can depend on different kinds of context, such as
'Record' or 'Controller' - it's the responsibility of the code calling the factory to interpret and
supply this context.
The expected use-case is that rather than overriding getCMSFields(), developers can
change CMS UIs by manipulating the FormFactory associated with the given DataObject.
This is an experimental UI and may change before 4.0 stable is released.
API Remove DataObject::validateModelDefinitions, and move to DataObjectSchema

API Move component parsing logic to DataObjectSchema
API Remove support for triangular has_many / belongs_many relationships
The 'admin' module will be split off from 'framework',
where 'framework' only provides (mostly) frontend-agnostic PHP classes.
For example, HTMLEditorField.php has a TinyMCEConfig.php driver,
but doesn't come with its own JS includes.
The JavaScript i18n functionality in SilverStripe is used in the CMS as well as form field implementations.
Form fields used to include their own JavaScript for usage outside of CMS. This now requires custom build tooling in a project.
Hence there's no need for an i18n shim (i18nx.js), since the CMS always uses i18n support.
We've removed the ability to directly reference JS and CSS files
for form fields and other SilverStripe features in favour of a common bundle built by Webpack.
The logical next step is to make the framework module free of frontend dependencies,
which should simplify its operation, and avoid another time intensive "npm install" on a module.
This has been made obsolete, since those files are all included in the main bundle (see bundle-lib.js).
They should not be referenced individually (e.g. through Requirements::block() or Requirements::javascript()).
The bundle is generated by running “webpack” directly - gulp is no
longer needed as an intermediary. The resulting config is a lot shorter,
although more configuration is pushed into lib.js.
Modules are shared between javascript files as global variables.
Although this global state pollution is a bit messy, I don’t think it’s
practically any worse than the previous state, and it highlights the
heavy coupling between the different packages we have in place.
Reducing the width of the coupling between the core javascript and
add-on modules would probably be a better way of dealing with this than
replacing global variables with some other kind of global state.
The web pack execution seems roughly twice as fast - if I clear out my
framework/client/dist/js folder, it takes 13.3s to rebuild. However,
it’s not rebuilding other files inside dist, only the bundle files.
CSS files are now included from javascript and incorporated into
bundle.css by the webpack. Although the style-loader is helpful in some
dev workflows (it allows live reload), it introduces a flash of
unstyled content which makes it inappropriate for production.
Instead ExtractTextPlugin is used to write all the aggregated CSS
into a single bundle.css file. A style-loader-based configuration could
be introduced for dev environments, if we make use of the webpack live
reloader in the future.
Note that the following features have been removed as they don't appear to be
necessary when using Webpack:
- UMD module generation
- thirdparty dist file copying
LeftAndMain.js deps: Without it, ssui.core.js gets loaded too late,
which leads e.g. to buttons being initialised without this added behaviour.
