 bp-legacy: Pass all `$_POST` data when a user makes a "What's New"
 activity update.

 Previously, if a plugin developer added a custom field to the "What's New"
 form, the data for that field would not get passed to our AJAX post
 handler
 - `bp_legacy_theme_post_update()`.  This made things difficult for plugin
 developers to save their custom activity data.

 This commit passes all valid `$_POST` fields from the "What's New" form to
 our AJAX post handler, which will allow plugin developers to find their
 data and save it.

 See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6569#comment:21 for a
 brief example.

 Props imath.

 See #6569.
