- Prevent an error when importing from phpBB if one of the expected profile fields has been deleted.
- Properly import SMF private messages

- Ensure the step state status is returned correctly when importing from IPS in the private messages step.
- When importing users ensure the allow_send_personal_conversation and allow_post_profile options cannot be imported with a value of everyone as it is not valid.
This is a significant release because it re-introduces the last remaining importers into XF 2.x that were previously only available in XF 1.x:
- MyBB 1.8
- phpBB 3.2
- SMF 2.0
Some of the changes in XFI 1.2.5 include:
- Add missing phrase when configuring vBulletin 5 forum importer.
- When importing from vBulletin 5 ensure that the node_name values are unique to avoid duplicate key errors.
- When importing from vBulletin, attempt to resolve a stored IP address to the ipdata table (if it exists).
- For the vBulletin smilie import, attempt to get the old VB board URL (and convert to valid UTF-8) within the step so a corrupted value cannot block the import from starting.
