 Remove the tool to repair the members last activity tracker

 In version 2.0 we decided to stop using the `last_activity` user meta in
 favor of tracing this information as an activity type having the same
 name. Meaning we stopped inserting this user meta for new members or any
 member of a community if the first BuddyPress installed version is upper
 than 1.9.

 When upgrading from a version < 2.0 to the 2.0 version, the
 `bp_last_activity_migrate()` function is there to use the user meta to
 populate the activity table with corresponding `last_activity` activities.

 We also created a repair tool in case the above upgrade task failed. This
 tool became obsolete but we forgot to remove it. It's now very problematic
 if an Admin user uses this tool as it will delete all `last_activity`
 activities but will fail at finding users having the `last_activity` meta.

 To stop the spread, we decided to remove this tool during a minor release
 (12.4.0) as we felt it was an emergency.
