Added 'groups' stuff, where we have different group bits that we can

that is also set on the bug.

 3/8/99 Added params to control how priorities are set in a new bug.  You can
 now choose whether to let submitters of new bugs choose a priority, or whether
 they should just accept the default priority (which is now no longer hardcoded
