This added groupExists() method to the GroupProvider.

Changing 1.1.x merge status to "none". This is an API change and not appropriate for back-porting to a maintenance branch.

1.2.x, r87600.
This is related to SAK-17414, where the check for valid provider id in Admin Realms tool is done by using getUserRolesForGroup() function of GroupProvider API. Currently, if the group has no user, the group provider id is rejected as invalid.
However, there will be cases that group is created ahead of adding any user into it. We need an api call dedicating for verify group existence, and not relying on group member(s).
