ok, i am very sorry, but this needs to be fixed.

Generally, our config table is not really suited for holding large datasets. Because feed settings for the forums to enable news feeds and excluded forums rely on the forums itself we have decided to introduce a forum_options table where custom options can be stored.
Additionally, for this to work across all DBMS we support, we added a new method to the DBAL for the bitwise AND operator.
Also moved the forum/topic feed template variable to the location where they belong to (forum and topic view)
