Description:
The "rename goup" function fails with

   U0105 This group name is already in use. Enter a different name.

if the new group name is different to the existing one only in the used case.

How to repeat:
- create a group "MERLIN"
- create try to rename it to "Merlin"

work around:
rename in 2 steps (first add any char, then change to the wanted new name)

the UI was prechecking for group existence, but did not consider
group names case in a case insensitive manner.

tests were added at the UI, business, and persistence layers to
ensure we could rename groups to a different case.

committed to trunk.  awaiting review for push into 2.0 GA or 2.0.1 maintenance.

An entry was added to the 2.0 changelog:

The Rename Group function failed if the new group name was different to the current one only in the case used; for example, if “Merlin” was changed to “MERLIN”.

The error generated was:

U0105 This group name is already in use. Enter a different name.
