Bug #1947643 Limit groups to be created in an institution

- Site admin can set max limit for groups in an institution
- Institution admins and non-admins are
notified when attempting to create or
copy a group beyond their limit, or
associate a group with an institution that
has reached its limit.
- Currently, group max limit can be set to
zero or blank and it means no limit

Title:
  Limit the number of groups that can be created in an institution

Status in Mahara:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  When a site is used for multiple institutions, it would be good for
  the site administrator to limit how many groups can be created within
  an institution, similarly to how they can set a maximum number of
  accounts. That will help administer the site more easily without
  needing to do any manual checking.

  1. Add a setting 'Maximum number of groups allowed' below the setting 'Maximum number of accounts allowed' on the institution settings page.
  2. That setting shall only be visible to site administrators like 'Maximum number of accounts allowed' so that institution admins cannot change it.
  3. That setting shall not be available for 'No institution'. There is no limit on how many groups can be created in 'No institution'.
  4. Add two columns to the overview page for the institutions at Admin menu -> Institutions -> Settings:
    - Groups
    - Maximum number of groups
  5. Change the 'Maximum' column heading to 'Maximum number of members' to differentiate it from the groups.
  6. When someone tries to add a group to an institution that has reached its limit, either via manually creating a group, copying a group, or bulk uploading groups, have an error message along the lines of:

  a) single group is created from Main menu -> Engage -> Groups and also
  when group is copied:

  This group was not added because the maximum number of groups allowed
  in this institution has been reached. Please get in touch with your
  [institution
  administrator](/institution/index.php?institution=APPROPRIATEINSTITUTION)
  for next steps.

  b) bulk group creation in Admin menu -> Groups -> Add groups by CSV:

  The group creation failed because the maximum number of groups allowed
  in this institution has been reached. Please get in touch with the
  site administrator to discuss raising the limit.
