[openstack-dev] [Keystone] Group changes must revoke tokens

Hi Adam,

Quite right.  The api blueprint for user groups specifies that this should happen (Dolph had been reviewing this) and the server code is using the same revoke mechanism that happens when a user role changes. I'll see if I can refactor this so it is more general and will then be obvious how we could plug in the mapping triggers.

Since both the group and mapping blueprints will affect Role assignments, both can have significant effects on the number of users whose tokens get revoked.
