 If user sign-ups are turned off, the UI for saving Register and Activate
 pages exists, but their values do not save, nor do the pages themselves
 render as part of theme compatibility.

 I haven't checked this configuration in a while, but this seems like a
 regression to me, like it used to work differently.

 If sign-ups were once turned on and a page was created and assigned, and
 then later sign-ups are turned off, that page and association still exist,
 and we should show a "Sorry, sign-ups are currently disabled" type message
 instead of a page.

 We could also hide the page assignment UI if `bp_get_signup_allowed()`
 returns false, but that leaves options in the database with no ability to
 modify them. Users should be able to modify slugs & page-assignments for
 these two pages, and they should never not act like sign-up and activation
 pages.
