(In [5660]) Do a better job of detecting when an upgrade is taking place, so as not to load multiple instances of the BuddyPress top-level menu before the installation wizard is run.

OK, it turns out that that [5660] actually breaks more than it fixes. The problem has to do with the fact that we don't have a reliable way to check whether we're in an upgrade/installation situation. Before I sink time into straightening it out, I would like to understand our version/db numbering scheme. jjj, as you introduced some of the new scheme in the 1.6 trunk (I'm thinking in particular about _bp_db_version, which you are storing with update_option() instead of update_site_option()), I was hoping you could explain definitively how you envision it working. Where are we getting the DB version number from? And how does this relate to our old way of setting bp-db-version? Why are we doing it on a site-specific, rather than networkwide, basis?
In the meantime, I'm going to revert my recent change.

The reason this is stored per site rather than per network is to avoid needing to move settings around all the time between sites and networks. It also has to do with multiblog, as it's possible that one site can be updated when others are not. It's a mess. If the db version isn't stored per site, it's possible that sites will appear up-to-date when they are not. Storing it at the site level is the only way to ensure the accurate bits are (or need to be) updated.

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from reopened to closed
(In [5749]) First pass at refactoring update/install wizard to remove code duplication:
- Rename and move admin images, css, and js into bp-core/admin/ folders
- Load the wizard from inside BP_Admin instead of selectively alone, so that basic functions are available
- Properly enqueue admin scripts
- Remove duplicated _update_ functions in bp-core-updater.php
- Remove weird redirect hack as it's no longer needed
- Remove purpose built functions that are no longer needed
- See #4005.
- Indirectly fixes #3964.
Probably it makes the most sense to suppress the plugin backpat top-level menu, since we don't really want people accessing BP-dependent content before BP has been installed.
