This patch adds the group restriction bitmap.
This bitmap is normally 0 (all bits clear), which means the normal
handling of the group permission check. When either bit is set, the
corresponding entry in supplementary group list is treated differently:
- if group access denied, then deny, as before
- if group access allowed, then proceed to checking Other perms.

Added 2 prctl calls: PR_GET_GRBITMAP and PR_SET_GRBITMAP to manipulate
the bitmap. This implementation only allows to manipulate 31 bits.

Q: Why is this needed?
A: When you want to lower the privs of your process, you may use
suid/sgid bits to switch to some home-less (no home dir) unprivileged
user that can't touch any files of the original user. But the
supplementary group list ruins that possibility, and you can't drop it.

The ability to drop the group list was proposed by Josh Tripplett:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/0895c1f268bc0b01cc6c8ed4607d7c3953f49728.1416041823.git.josh@joshtriplett.org/

But it wasn't considered secure enough because the group may restrict
an access, not only allow. My solution avoids that problem, as when you
set a bit in the restriction bitmap, the group restriction still
applies - only the permission is withdrawn. Another advantage is that
you can selectively restrict groups from the list, rather than to drop
it them all at once.
