 Post Type Activity Tracking feature

 So far the tracking feature was requiring the Blogs component to be
 active. In 2.2 we are centralizing the majority of the tracking code into
 the Activity component. A new set of functions and hooks has been created
 to catch public post types supporting the feature 'buddypress-activity'
 and to automatically generate an activity when a new item is publicly
 published.

 It's now possible to add this support to any public post type using one
 unique line of code, eg: {{{add_post_type_support( 'page', 'buddypress-
 activity' )}}}. In this case BuddyPress will use generic activity
 attributes.
 Each activity attribute of the supported post type can be customized using
 a specific function (eg: set custom strings to describe the post type
 activity action).

 When registering a post type in WordPress it's also possible to set the
 'buddypress-activity' feature using the support parameter of the second
 argument of the register_post_type() function. Custom activity action
 strings can be defined within the labels parameter and activity attributes
 can be set using the new parameter 'bp_activity'.

 When the Blogs component is active, the 'post' post type is automatically
 supporting the 'buddypress-activity' feature. The conditional logic (eg:
 blog_public option set to 1 ...) that occurs before a new activity is
 posted and the comments tracking remain unchanged.
