 The patch is setup as `src/bp-invitiations`.

 I would love for this to be some kind of "common" library (similar to what
 we are envisioning attachments to be?) with a universal approach towards
 inviting members to do things.

 * Join groups
 * Join a site/network
 * Join a private message thread
 * Become friends
 * Third party components like events, docs, chat, etc...

 If that means making it a full-fledged component, I'm fine with that
 approach, but we will want unit test coverage on existing invitations code
 to ensure nothing breaks.

 If we went the component route, we would want to default it to on for
 upgrades, and let each component continue to work as before, and decide
 whether or not new installations should be "invitation" friendly networks,
 or whether that's worth allowing someone to turn on.
