This problem doesn't exist in master / 20.04 as there were two related
changes there that fixed this problem

As one of the changes was done in 19.10 we will add the other fix there
to sort the problem - will make a new patch for that

The fix in patch 10864 will sort out the problem for mahara 19.04 if
anyone needs it - but we will not merge into 19.04 branch as it would be
a wishlist item there - new code rather than fixing existing code.

Title:
  Allow grouproles to be reset for users when roles updated via
  webservices

Bug description:
  When creating new groups via webservices while the user is logged in.

  The "group/find.php" search works with a user's grouproles and when a
  group is created via webservice the grouproles are not reset for the
  session. So only after the user logged out and logged in again, the
  group is found with "group/find.php".

  We need to set a flag so that when a person loads anything in mahara
  (eg calls the $user->renew() function) that it resets the group roles
  for the user so they don't have to logout and login again.

  Added from discussion with Robert (2020-05-08):
  The group_add_user() and group_remove_user() functions already call the $USER->reset_grouproles() function - so this patch is only fixing the problem when group_create() is called. In 'normal' Mahara we can't create a group with more than the current user, but via webservice we can create a group with many members at once and that causes this problem.
