#7502: Legacy forums do not work with WordPress 4.7

 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  Forums        |    Version:  2.7.1
 Severity:  normal        |   Keywords:  has-patch
--------------------------+-----------------------------
 WordPress 4.7 introduced the `WP_Taxonomy` class.  BackPress also has a
 class called `WP_Taxonomy`.

 But our legacy forum bridge code is throwing a fatal error because we are
 attempting to load the BackPress version of the `WP_Taxonomy` class when
 it already exists in WordPress 4.7 now.  (Also both classes are entirely
 different, code-wise!)

 Attached patch does a dirty workaround by doing the following:
 1. Copies the BackPress version of the `WP_Taxonomy` class and renames the
 class to `BackPress_Taxonomy`.
 2. Copies the bbPress (v1) version of the `BB_Taxonomy` class and extends
 it to use our custom `BackPress_Taxonomy` class instead of `WP_Taxonomy`.
