Message:

Stop a logged-in spammer from being able to access the site.

When an admin marks a live user as a spammer, that user can still surf
around and cause havoc on the site until that person is logged out.

This commit stops live spammers from accessing the site on the next
page load.

Fixes #4814.

+ *
+ * This code checks to see if a logged-in user is marked as a spammer.  If so,
+ * we kill access to the rest of the site.
+ *
+ * Runs on 'bp_init' at priority 5 so the members component globals are setup
+ * before we do our spammer checks.
+ *
+ * This is important as the $bp->loggedin_user object is setup at priority 4.

+ * @since BuddyPress (v1.8)
