Message:

Sanitize more gently in component *_update_meta() functions

Previous sanitization techniques resulted in double-sanitization. Recent
changes in how WP's SQL sanitization routines work have surfaced this problem,
in particular as regards line breaks. By removing the extraneous call to
esc_sql(), we ensure that line breaks are preserved, and sanitization is left
to $wpdb->prepare().

Change applied in update_meta() functions through bp-groups, bp-activity, and
bp-xprofile. Also adds corresponding unit tests.

Fixes #5180
