---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
This patch:
- Introduces two new categories, FiniteGroups and FinitePermutationGroups
- Deprecates the class sage.groups.group.FiniteGroup
(content moved to the FiniteGroups category; this is essentially
the cayley_graph method)
- Puts all permutation groups and most other finite groups in the
corresponding categories
- As a result, this standardizes the interface of those groups
(cardinality, one, ...), and reveals lots of failures in the
completely undocumented PariGroup (category not set properly yet)
- Makes a minor improvement to FiniteEnumeratedSets tests for
large finite enumerated sets
