 Background: #1971, #2043, #2171, #2481.

 Disabling `bbp_update_topic_walker()` for performance reasons in [3898]
 and introducing an `archived` status in [3937] caused some issues with
 inaccurate replies metadata in topics (see the tickets above). They were
 eventually fixed for new topics, but the old topics' metadata remains
 incorrect. This was mostly mitigated in [5675], [5693], and [5710] by
 recounting replies and updating the metadata when editing any topic
 created before 2017-07-21.

 However, new topics still occasionally have off-by-one glitches, e.g. a
 topic with 1 reply shows 0 replies in the list table.

 It would help if there was a specific Recount Replies action for each
 topic.
