Followup 2a65bf452224ece92981a9a26579ece67f10855b With the above change, we i…nadvertently made it so that when you edited the topic title or category, we bumped the topic. This fix makes it so we do not bump topics when only title, category, or tags are changed, to restore the previous behaviour. In addition, we are making it so the following settings no longer influence topic bump behaviour, keeping only their intended notification behaviour around. The site setting description never mentioned anything about topic bumps: * disable_category_edit_notifications * disable_tag_edit_notifications
