Merging sub-forum may encounter error before its parent forum merged for some modules #238

As the tittle says, some board import modules may have issues upon merging sub-forum when its parent forum is not yet merged. It's found in the SMF2 module for now (see the link below), but more modules might suffer in the same way.

Sorry, just said completely the opposite way.. 👶 One should be able to reproduce it in merging a SMF2 board, by assigning an latter created board (has a bigger id_board) as a child forum of an earlier created forum (has a smaller id_board) in the SMF2 board then running the Merge System.

(Edited to add: looks like SMF2 has an issue of showing sub-forums if the scenario is just as above-mentioned.)

I'm working on a fix of the SMF2 module. Other modules should be examined, too. This issue should be mostly relating to the modules that need to convert categories first.

OK, make a checklist (items with no notes don't have a separated category table):
