(The functionality of groups is: Anyone who is part of a particular group can edit any item that is associated with that group.)

We need some Manage Groups functionality where each user can be associated with one or more groups. Groups should be a (existing groups, need a new API call for that, plus "Other...", allowing to add and select a new group, which is then added to the select). If possible, this should happen in the Manage Users dialog (with "X Groups" as the title of the select). The corresponding capability (canEditUsers) already exists.

Similarly, anyone who can edit an item can use a to associate the item with one or more groups -- either with the users own groups, or, depending on the canEditMetadata capability (but not the editable property inherited via ownership or group membership), with any group, including a new one.

Users should see their groups in their preferences, even though this is read-only.

In both places (Manage Users, Info View), open a dialog with checkboxes for all groups, with options to add and remove groups.

In the future, this dialog could get a second tab, showing users and items per group.
