TYPO3 Core

Description/Background¶

Build/Scripts/runTests.sh support for the different database types
and versions. That means, which version for which types can be selected
for functional and/or acceptance tests.

Additionally, the help text output should be enhanced to list information
about the executable database versions, based on lists provided by the
vendors.

Important Notice¶

Be aware, that this does not mean that tests are green with all version.
This only enables execution through Build/Scripts/runTests.sh for now.
CI adjustments are done afterwards in a dedicated shuffle change.
