Remove group identifiers

Groups are replaced by https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/1772 and this probably shouldn't have made it into the spec in the first place without the remaining context of Groups.

#### Group Identifiers
Groups within Matrix are uniquely identified by their group ID. The
group ID is namespaced to the group server which hosts this group and
has the form:
+localpart:domain
The `localpart` of a group ID is an opaque identifier for that group. It
MUST NOT be empty, and MUST contain only the characters `a-z`, `0-9`,
`.`, `_`, `=`, `-`, and `/`.
The `domain` of a group ID is the [server name](#server-name) of the
group server which hosts this group.
The length of a group ID, including the `+` sigil and the domain, MUST
NOT exceed 255 characters.
The complete grammar for a legal group ID is:
group_id = "+" group_id_localpart ":" server_name
group_id_localpart = 1*group_id_char
group_id_char = DIGIT
/ %x61-7A ; a-z
/ "-" / "." / "=" / "_" / "/"

<!-- TODO: @@TravisR: Make "Spaces" a link when that specification exists -->
In prior versions of this specification, a concept of "groups" were mentioned
to organize rooms. This functionality did not properly get introduced into
the specification and is subsequently replaced with "Spaces". Historical
matrix.to URIs pointing to groups might still exist: they take the form
`https://matrix.to/#/%2Bexample%3Aexample.org` (where the `+` sigil may or
may not be encoded).
