James Edwards-Jones 46f66c7f0a Allow setting feature flags per GitLab group
Building on support for setting feature flags by project, this adds
support for setting them by GitLab group path.

This is different from setting them by Flipper feature_groups, which
are for batch updating pre-registered collections.
