Bug Description

Currently the group_update() webservice function allow for changes to all group settings including making the group another type of group / changing who the members are.

This can be overkill if all one wants is to change the basic information about a group.

So I'll make a new group_update_details() webservice function to allow only the updating of:
- Group name
- Group description
- Group category
