Change likes to reactions...

[Oldiesmann]

This PR changes SMF's likes feature into a full-fledged reactions system.

Features:
Admins can add/remove reactions as desired (only limit is defined by the limits of the SMALLINT data type, which should be plenty)
For simplicity, it will use images in a reactions folder in the theme's images folder and will look for a $txt['react_{name}'] string for i18n (defaults to 'name' defined in the database if not found)

Work done so far:

• Database changes for install and upgrade
• Modified language strings

Still to do:

• Code modifications/additions to handle things
• Theme stuff
• Testing (this is alpha so not too worried about that yet)

Note that the upgrade uses a combination of db API functions and upgrade_query. In some situations (such as creating a table), upgrade_query is far simpler than the associated db API call.

Also cc @Sesquipedalian since this will require changes to the DB schema stuff in #8093

Good job. IMO this also should be done for 2.1

2.1 is feature frozen and receives bug fixes only.

This is still marked as a draft, @Oldiesmann. Is it ready for review?

[Oldiesmann]

Not yet. The back end stuff is done but I haven't done anything on the user side yet because theme-related stuff isn't my strong point. It's at a point now where the admin can add, remove and modify reactions as well as choose who can react to things, but I don't have any of the UI stuff done - the part that actually allows someone to react to something.

I would suggest putting something in that looks decent and letting the theme PR take care of improving it then.

@tyrsson is going to help me out with the UI part when he gets a chance.

I hope to get started on it in the next couple weeks. It's on the schedule. The markup really is not the part that will take some doing it will be the JS required to make it really usable that needs sorting out.

@DiegoAndresCortes did you mean to request changes? If so, what do you suggest? GitHub only says that you "requested changes with read-only permissions"

No recently, only the two older ones where you commented
