Description

In FileUserGroupProvider, when a new group is created, all the users in the group are checked to ensure they are known to the FileUserGroupProvider prior to creating the group.

This check should be removed, and an integrity check should be placed in the entity managing all user group providers (eg, CompositeUserGroupProvider and CompositeConfigurableUserGroupProvider).

Also, when loading a user identity, all UserGroupProviders should be considered for finding groups the user to which the user belongs.
