Fixed the conversations import. Was able to import over half a million messages from XF2.3 into discourse. Have raised a PR in case someone is interested.

----EDIT----

Raise another PR with a fix for likes import. It is surprising that nobody migrated from XF2.1+ to discourse till now. Likes were renamed to reactions in 2019 when XF2.1 released.
