wall: add --group option
The wall command on AIX supports a "-g" option to limit the message
to a group of users by gid. Add compatibility to the Linux version.
Thanks to Sami Kerola <kerolasa@iki.fi> for an initial skeleton
implementation.
[kzak@redhat.com: - rename max to ngroups
- add free_group_workspace()
- some cosmetic changes]
