Assign a unique UUID to each AccountGroup
UUIDs will be used later on to link access rules to groups, even if
the group gets renamed and the access rule file didn't get updated
with the new name yet.
To generate a UUID we take the creator of the group and the original
group name and hash them with SHA-1. This should produce a globally
unique identifier that is also time dependent, as the PersonIdent
has the current time embedded as part of the creator string.
The placeholder group 'Project Owners' is assigned a constant UUID,
as the concept of project ownership is the same across all servers
and the server interpreting the rules needs to replace this group
with the actual ownership list before evaluating them.
The magic groups 'Anonymous Users' and 'Registered Users' are also
assigned constant UUIDs, as this simplifies the definition of those
automatic membership groups within a server installation.
