Thanks for SMF 2.1 - v1.6

This mod is a 'Thanks' version of the 'Likes' feature that is a standard part of SMF 2.1.

For those who want/need a 'Thanks' feature, it provides a consistent look/feel and the same functionality the default SMF 2.1 'Likes' feature.

Notes:
All the source code for this mod is derived from the SMF 2.1 'Likes' system.
Apart from replacing the 'Like' word with the equivalent 'Thank' word the only other source code changes are as follows:
1. Configure an icon for the 'Thank' action/alert and an icon for the 'Unthank' action; and
2. Configure extra spacing to the left of the 'Thank' button in a message if the 'Likes' feature is also enabled.
