Create new group: Rename form fields and update UI

Problem to solve

Via https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/2934#note_98403973 we are renaming project-specific labels to Project URL and Project slug when creating a new project. The same is needed for groups for consistency.

Proposal

  • Rename labels on "New group" page.

    • Group path to Group URL
    • Description to Group description
  • Group slug gets generated from Group name.

  • Also, let's position the fields similar to the "New project" page.

    • New forms layout (labels on top, bold)
    • Add "(optional) to the Group Description label
    • "Group name" to the top
Current "New Group" New "New project"

Solution

Normal All errors 'Group path taken' error

Additional suggested changes:

  • can we autofocus the 'Group name' input field?
  • remove the help icon from the visibility section and replace it with a description + text link.
  • we need to indicate that the number of characters allowed for group description is limited. I created a separate issue for the design pattern. Let's add this as a separate issue afterwards.
