 Original report:
 http://buddypress.org/support/topic/bp-1-7-1-and-the-forums-component-has-
 not-been-set-up-yet-error/

 In BP 1.7, if the "Group Forums (Legacy)" component is enabled, the
 "Forums" tab (which is used to setup the forums) does not show up.

 We need to enable the tab for sites that are still using the legacy
 forums.

 Attached patch:
 * Reinstates the "Forums" tab in the admin area if the legacy group forums
 component is toggled.
 * Properly deprecate forum code between 1.6 and 1.7. (Was running into
 function already declared errors.)
 * Loads the deprecated forum code in the admin area only.
 * Change the strings on the "Forums" tab to note that bbPress is the
 preferred option going forward.

 Feel free to change the strings.
