Daniel Molkentin bad8aa054e Revert "removed 5.0 documentation from the 4.5 branch"
This reverts commit a711d0125a.

We need this so we can pull further changes from the 4.5 branch
without reverting 5.0 documentation all the time.

Security
========
Blacklisted PHP functionality
-----------------------------
**echo, print(), <?=**
Use $this->p in templates instead
**error_log**
Use throw new Exception("Description") instead
**==**
Use === instead
**!=**
Use !== instead
**rand(), srand(), mt_rand()**
If you need a cryptographical secure random string use OC_Util::generate_random_bytes() instead, the PHP provided functions are `not secure <http://www.suspekt.org/2008/08/17/mt_srand-and-not-so-random-numbers/>`_.
CSRF protection
-----------------------------
Please add::
OC_Util::isCallRegistered()
or::
OC_JSON::callCheck() at the top of your file to prevent Cross-site request forgery.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_request_forgery

-----------------------------
OC_Util::checkLoggedIn() or OC_JSON::checkLoggedIn()
Checks if the user is logged in
OC_Util::checkAdminUser() or OC_JSON::checkAdminUser()

OC_Util::checkSubAdminUser() or OC_JSON::checkSubAdminUser()
