Comment:

 This is a big backpat issue because internally we have switched out all
 previous delete notification functions to the newly-created
 `bp_core_mark_notifications_by_X()` functions (see r7529).

 If we leave this as-is, 3rd-party plugins will need to do the same thing
 in order for notifications to default to mark as read instead of delete.

 I know this will suck, but perhaps we should revert r7529 and alter most
 of the `bp_core_delete_notifications_by_X()` functions to mark
 notifications as read instead of deleting them.
