ignacionelson eb2917f5ff Hold a group object to the same boundary its membership already has
This overturns something #1701 decided, so it should say so. That PR
closed the membership hole and left GroupsController::update and
destroy installation-wide on purpose, on the grounds that managing the
group object is a different question from managing who is in it.

What decides it is a measurement that was not in front of that decision.
An assignment to a group is how its members reach a file, so deleting a
group revokes that access for every member. Measured before this guard,
with a client-scoped role holding the group permissions:

  stranger client can read the shared file   true
  PATCH /groups/{stranger group}             302, renamed
  DELETE /groups/{stranger group}            302, group gone
  stranger client can read the shared file   false

So a staff member who may not add somebody to a group out of their reach
could delete it out from under the people already in it. That is not a
gentler version of the membership rule, it is a harder one, and the two
sitting on opposite sides of the same boundary was the odd part.

StaffLibraryScope::allowsGroupChange is the reach half of
allowsGroupMembership on its own, since no client appears in this
question -- one predicate, two callers, rather than a second statement of
it. Both surfaces take it, at 404, matching the membership guards.

A group that shares nothing beyond the actor's library still passes, so a
group they created or one holding their own clients stays theirs, and
unscoped staff are unaffected by construction.

The API document moves a 404 above a 422 on two paths. Both already
documented the 404 -- route model binding produced one -- and Scramble
orders responses by where they appear in the method, so the guard landing
before the validate() call is the whole of the change.
