New description:

 This patch implements the finite enumerated set of primitive permutation
 groups of a given degree, and the infinite enumerated set of all primitive
 permutation groups. It is based on the work done in #8500 for transitive
 permutation groups.

 This allows a user to do:
 {{{
 sage: PrimitiveGroups(4).cardinality()

 sage: for G in PrimitiveGroups(i):
 ...       any_test(G)  # any test over all primitive groups of a given
 degree

 sage: for G in PrimitiveGroups():
 ...       other_test(G) # test over all primitive groups
 }}}
 This requires the optional database_gap which contains all the primitive
 permutation groups of degree <= 2499. Therefore, in practice, the
 enumeration stops with a NonImplementedError?

 Apply trac_12407_primitive_permutation_groups.patch,
 trac_12407_review.patch, trac_12407_fix_testcases.patch

Comment:

 With the third patch on top the tests should work with and without
 'database_gap'. I have also replaced all assertions in permgroup_named.py
 by ValueErrors.
