Missing forum post meta keys when creating a new forum

[netweb]

When creating a new 'open' forum (i.e. not closed) post meta key _bbp_status with meta value open is not created.

• When editing a forums status post meta key _bbp_status is correctly updated with open or closed values

• A forum's _bbp_status can be either open or closed

When creating a new 'forum' forum (i.e. not a category) post meta key _bbp_forum_type with meta value forum is not created.

• When editing a forums type post meta key _bbp_forum_type is correctly updated with forum or category values
• A forum's _bbp_forum_type can be either forum or category

Edit: Edited and updated ticket description of exact behaviour

In 2647.diff:

* Introduce bbp_update_forum_forum_id() updater forum function
* bbp_update_forum() calls bbp_update_forum_forum_id() to add _bbp_forum_id post meta key when a forum is created or edited using bbp_new_forum_handler() and bbp_edit_forum_handler() respectively

We should also updating existing forum meta as part of the bbPress 2.6 update.

I have deleted (strikethough text) the original _bbp_forum_id section from the original ticket and in comment:1:

• Meta key _bbp_forum_id is only used in bbp_exclude_forum_ids() and bbp_request_feed_trap() with topic and reply queries to not include topics or replies in hidden and/or private forums unless the user has the capability to read those forums

The _bbp_status and _bbp_forum_type meta keys issues when creating a new forum are still valid and needs patch

[netweb]

In 2647.diff, when creating a new forum as part of bbp_save_forum_extras():

• Call bbp_open_forum() if the forum is open to add the forums _bbp_status = open meta
• Call bbp_normalize_forum() if the forum is a forum to add the forums _bbp_forum_type = forum meta

In 5516:

Include 'default' forum status and forum type meta keys in importers for databases that do not support these values.

• Forum status: _bbp_status = open meta
• Forum type: _bbp_forum_type = forum

Props netweb. See #2647
