PHP7 compatibility issues

Hello,

the Plugin "PHP Compatibility checker" displays the following issues for compatibility of buddypress and php7.

The rest of PHP7 incompatibility regarding bundled bbpress1 was moved to ​http://pastebin.com/hYaV5bY8

Only the first issue might be related to the core, actually.
/bp-forums/bbpress/* are a 3rd party plugin, that is (sadly) distributed with BuddyPress. We can't do much there, just remove it (perhaps to a separate plugin).

I'm personally using BuddyPress 2.6.2 on a PHP 7 - don't have any issues (that I noticed to be fair).

Anyway, we have tests, that are passing green on PHP 7 (and particularly regarding that class-bp-core-nav.php), but we will recheck.

As far as I can tell, the line highlighted in the ticket is already covered. The bbPress ones from the pastebin are likely already getting addressed by bbPress core devs.

This was fixed in r10943 in BuddyPress 2.7. Thank you for letting us know, @prowo24 -- better safe than sorry!
