fileutils-3.4: chgrp problems on old bsd systems, +fix
#1151

The GNU chgrp doesn't work on older versions of bsd because only root can
use chown(2) (there is a comment to this effect about sequents in the README
file).  I've added (ifdef'd) code to the GNU chgrp to deal with such systems
when it is installed setuid root.  The code checks that the user is in the
named group, makes sure the user owns all files before changing the group,
and checks directory permissions before recursing into them.  The diffs for
configure(.in) add a test to see if the system has such a broken chown(2)
(the test is done in a readable/executable subdirectory, conftest.dir, so it
will work even if root is running configure).  The diffs also add a
GETGROUPS_T test to the configure scripts since the modified chgrp uses
getgroups().  Note that the Makefile doesn't install chgrp as setuid
root - this needs to be done by hand.
