Description

When there are two extensions, where the first one describes a table in
ext_tables.php, and the second one depends on the first extension and
modifies the table of the first extension, but does so in
Configuration/TCA/Overrides, the changes of the second extension are ignored.

An example where this situation occurs is when using direct_mail, 4.0.0, with addresses
stored in tt_address, 2.3.4. The table tt_address is defined in ext_tables.php,
but direct_mail adds some fields in TCA/Overrides, so the the changes from direct_mail
are lost.

I think this can be resolved by adding a rule to only use TCA/Overrides for stuff that is
already done in TCA/Overrides. In case of direct_mail and tt_address the problem would then
be a bug in direct_mail.
