Silverstripe Forms allow malicious HTML or JavaScript to be inserted
through non-scalar FormField attributes, which allows performing XSS (Cross-Site Scripting)
on some forms built with user input (Request data). This can lead to phishing attempts
to obtain a user's credentials or other sensitive user input.
There is no known attack vector for extracting user-session information or credentials automatically,
it required a user to fall for the phishing attempt.
XSS can also be used to modify the presentation of content in malicious ways.

Also simplifies composer instructions a bit:
- Removes composer update --no-dev references, that's a bit of an edge case that people can just discover on getcomposer.org if they need it
- Changed example from the unused and oudated silverstripe/forum to silverstripe/blog
- Updated example versions to 4.x
- Remove "updating composer" section, it now tells you if its out of date
- Remove ss-auto-git-ignore module reference. The module hasn't been updated in ages, and it's much less necessary now that all relevant modules are on composer
- Add .env example config to getting started docs, I didn't realise it was stripped from the default --prefer-dist composer install
* Remove installer
* Remove exposed install files
* Replace Dev/Install classes still in use
* Update changelog
* FIX make the grid field actions consistent to what they look like on pages
Resolves https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-admin/issues/904
* Docs changes
* Remove overly specific PHP RNG instructions (that's just built into PHP7 through random_bytes now, which will throw if no suitable RNG is available)
* Remove PHP 5 RNG requirements, since we don't support that PHP release any mre
* Remove verbose explanation of PHP 5.6 support
* Remove conflicting instructions for PHP memory limits
* Remove version numbers from supporetd databases other than MySQL, it's up to the community modules to define that
* Remove Oracle support (code is nine years old!)
* Make "community supported" status clearer on databases, people can draw their own conclusions as open source users on Github
* Remove IIS version number, I think we should just stick to "needs web.config" and not give the impression that this is actively tested
* Remove mention of OSes for web servers, that's kind of irrelevant in today's hosting world (containers, PaaS, etc)
* Shorten install instructions in favour of a "quickstart" and point to lessons instead
* Remove mention of archive download option, we really shouldn't promote this - composer is the de-facto standard
* Add generic descriptions of the hosting environment considerations without going too much into specifics
* Remove Apache version number, we don't test on different versions, and really mostly rely on mod_rewrite working properly. Laravel does the same (doesn't claim specific Apache version support)
* DOCS File migration changes for 4.4.0
