Subject[PATCH] proc: Add complete process group list
If a process is in more than NGROUPS_SMALL (32) groups, it's not possible
for any other user space process to determine the list of groups it is
in using /proc/<pid>/status.

Increasing the list of groups listed by /proc/<pid>/status would lead to
very long lines that file, and possible misbehavior of userspace programs
that parse /proc/<pid>/status, so instead I have opted to create a new
file /proc/<pid>/groups, which contains the list of supplementary groups
for each pid.

The new file /proc/<pid>/groups consists of a single group id per line,
with each line being 11 characters long. This should be enough space
for 16bit or 32bit group ids.

This feature might be useful for a server listening on a unix domain pipe
to determine the list of groups that a client process is in from its pid.
