Currently the "current password" is only checked, when you change something.
This means you get "Your profile has been updated." although you enter a wrong
password. I also added proper error messages, when you leave the confirm fields
empty, and sorted them in the order of the field appearances on the html page.

It does not make sense to send notifications to users joining a freely open
group. They already know that they were added to the group, because they
triggered the actual join.

* bantu/ticket/10327:
[ticket/10327] Use $this->tools instead of creating a new instance of db_tools.
[ticket/10327] Also change CREATE UNIQUE INDEX to use ALTER TABLE.
In the mcp the change_topic_type does not properly check permissions,
allowing moderators to make any post sticky or announced by visiting the
correct URL.
PHPBB3-10377
* CREATE INDEX is internally mapped to an ALTER INDEX statement.
* CREATE INDEX requires the INDEX permission.
* ALTER TABLE requires the (more powerful) ALTER permission.
* We require the ALTER permission anyway for operation.
* Changing CREATE INDEX to ALTER TABLE thus removes dependency on the INDEX
permission which is good because some management software does not give
out the INDEX permission by default.
