 In [changeset:"12498" 12498]:

 Compat classes to handle `Walker_Nav_Menu::walk()` changes in WP 5.3

 WordPress 5.3 modified the `Walker_Nav_Menu::walk()` signature adding a
 third parameter to the method that is using the spread operator.
 johnjamesjacoby quickly fixed the issue in [12497] when PHP >=5.6.

 As our current PHP required version is 5.3, we need to provide a temporary
 compatibility mechanism to make sure our `BP_Walker_Nav_Menu` will not
 generate errors when the PHP version is lower than 5.6 before raising the
 PHP required version in our next major release.
