1. Separated responsibility of handleAction so that it no longer bootstraps the controller and cleans up after the request is handled.
2. NEW beforeHandleRequest to take responsibility of bootstrapping the controller
3. NEW afterHandleRequest to take responsibility of cleanup for the controller
4. NEW calling init on controllers deprecated in favour of callInit() which takes responsibility of enforcing that "base init" is called and the before and after hooks
5. NEW Added prepareResponse to Controller for dealing with responses from controllers
6. NEW setResponse added to controller for setting response objects on the controller
API Improved support for versioned DataObject
API GridField extensions for versioned dataobjects

API File::handle_shortcode now respects canView()
API AssetControlExtension is now able to delete, publish, or protect files
API Upload now protects new assets by default

Fixes an access issue where all public methods on FormField were allowed,
and not checked for $allowed_actions. Before this patch you could e.g.
call FormField->Value() on the first field by using action_Value.
Removes the following assertion because it only worked due to RequestHandlingTest_AllowedControllerExtension
*not* having $allowed_extensions declared: "Actions on magic methods are only accessible if explicitly allowed on the controller."
FIX: Ensure SSViewer::hasTemplate() is aware of themes.
To do this, RequestHandler::definingClassForAction() has been created, splitting out the code that looks up the class that defines a given action into its own method. This is then overridden in Controller to look at templates.
RequestHandler#handleAction now exists. It takes the request, and
the action to call on itself. All calls from handleRequest to call an action
will go through this method
Controller#handleAction has had it's signature changed to
match new RequestHandler#handleAction
RequestHandler#findAction has been added, which extracts the
"match URL to rules to find action" portion of RequestHandler#handleRequest
into a separate, overrideable function
GridField#handleAction has beeen renamed to handleAlterAction and
CMSBatchActionHandler#handleAction has been renamed to handleBatchAction to
avoid name clash with new RequestHandler#handleAction
Reason for change: The exact behaviour of request handling depended heavily
on whether you inherited from RequestHandler or Controller, and whether the
rule extracted it's action directly (like "foo/$ID" => 'foo') or dynamically
(like "$Action/$ID" => "handleAction"). This cleans up behaviour so
all calls follow the same path through handleRequest and handleAction, and
the additional behaviour that Controller adds is clear.
allowed_actions is now only allowed to reference public methods defined
on the same Controller as the allowed_actions static, and
the wildcard "*" has been deprecated
Controller (and subclasses) failed to enforce $allowed_action restrictions
on parent classes if a child class didn't have it explicitly defined.
Controllers which are extended with $allowed_actions (through an Extension)
now deny access to methods defined on the controller, unless this class also has them in its own
$allowed_actions definition.
The entire framework repo (with the exception of system-generated files) has been amended to respect the 120c line-length limit. This is in preparation for the enforcement of this rule with PHP_CodeSniffer.
These APIs are primarily intended to let developers write custom 404 handlers. They can define an onBeforeHTTPError404() method on an Extension that gets added to Controller or RequestHandler.
The SS_HTTPResponse_Exception object has also been tidied up to override the status info of any SS_HTTPResponse object that might get passed. This is mainly to make it easier for callers (such as ContentController and ModelAsController) to use RequestHandler::httpError() more consistently.
This allows arguments to be passed along in an $allowed_actions deceleration of
the form 'action' => '->method' in the same way that arguments can be passed to
extension constructors when adding them using $extensions or
Object::add_extension.
I.e. 'action' => '->checkerMethod(false, 7, 2, "yesterday") would call the
checkerMethod method with the boolean false the numbers 7 and 2 and the string
"yesterday" as its arguments.
API CHANGE: Add DataList::newObject(), which creates a new object on that DataList.
API CHANGE: RequestHandler::handleRequest() now needs to handle a $model argument, if you override it.
