This also corrects FileHelper.download so it supports "follow_redirect"
correctly (it used to always follow 1 redirect) and adds a `validate_url`
param that will bypass all uri validation if set to false (default is true)
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
Migrates email user options to a new data structure, where `email_always`, `email_direct` and `email_private_messages` are replace by
* `email_messages_level`, with options: `always`, `only_when_away` and `never` (defaults to `always`)
* `email_level`, with options: `always`, `only_when_away` and `never` (defaults to `only_when_away`)

- Configuration of import with settings.yml instead of editing code
- Supports importing from phpBB 3.0.x and 3.1.x

from posts and private messages

IP address, website, date of birth, location

- Users that were deactivated in phpBB3 get suspended for 200 years
during the import

system user
- Forums of type "link" are not imported as categories anymore
- Internal links to posts get rewritten during the import (previously
only links to topics got rewritten)
- Ordered lists with BBCode [list=a] (which are unsupported in
Discourse) get imported as if they would be [list=1]
- Importing of avatars, attachments, private messages, polls and
bookmarks can be disabled via configuration file
- Optional fixing of private messages for forums that have been upgraded
from phpBB2 prevents the import of duplicate messages and tries to
group related messages into topics

smilies get uploaded and embedded as images. Smiley mappings can be
added or overridden in the settings.yml file.
