This PR changes SMF's likes feature into a full-fledged reactions system.

Features:
Admins can add/remove reactions as desired (only limit is defined by the limits of the SMALLINT data type, which should be plenty)
For simplicity, it will use images in a reactions folder in the theme's images folder and will look for a $txt['react_{name}'] string for i18n (defaults to 'name' defined in the database if not found)

Work done so far:

  • Database changes for install and upgrade
  • Modified language strings

Still to do:

  • Code modifications/additions to handle things
  • Theme stuff
  • Testing (this is alpha so not too worried about that yet)

Note that the upgrade uses a combination of db API functions and upgrade_query. In some situations (such as creating a table), upgrade_query is far simpler than the associated db API call.

Also cc @Sesquipedalian since this will require changes to the DB schema stuff in #8093

Good job. IMO this also should be done for 2.1

Fixed several bugs:

  • Fixed admin center - fixed admin search referencing non-existent function; removed likes; added reactions menu item
  • Fixed queries that still used the old format which had an optional identifier as the first parameter
  • Fixed query in Stats that referenced a non-existent "reacts" column

Still need to update the Msg.php code to populate the variable which tracks how many of each reaction was chosen for a particular post
