Xenforo 2.2.8, One-Click Archive Imports, Bugfixes

Overview
This update brings compatibility with the latest Xenforo 2.2.8 and moves all Nulumia themes to use the One-Click Archive import format. From now on, you can download style packages as a single zip file and import directly in your Xenforo backend. This means you will no longer have to manually upload files via FTP, nor import XML files separately!
** Import change using One-Click Archive imports **
Importing styles as zip archives changes the file structure and file location of your styles in Xenforo. This means custom files, such as images and logos, which were placed in the formal styles folder may need to be migrated once you begin using the archive format.

Please read the following migration guide to see if this change affects you:

*MIGRATION GUIDE* For New One-Click Archive Style Imports
