Okta Group Nomenclature Updates

Why is this change being made?

As part of an upcoming "Managed groups" project, updating this nomenclature doc is part of setting the foundation for how we manage Okta Groups at GitLab.

We will need to create groups that include members of each department, all employees in a country, and more.

Additionally, there are groups being created now that do not follow the current conventions, and we need to set guidance so that groups are easily searchable, identifiable, and we can interact with them programatically.
