Introduce API to transfer a group to a different parent group

Manoj M J requested to merge 23831-need-an-api-to-transfer-subgroups-to-a-different-parent-group into master

What does this MR do and why?

For #23831 (closed)

This MR introduces a new API to transfer a specific group to a new target group, of the form

POST /groups/4/transfer?group_id=7

This transfers group 4 to within the group with id 7.

When group_id is not specified, the source group will be promoted to a root group, so like

POST /groups/4/transfer

This makes group 4 turn into a root group. (This behaviour is akin to how Group transfer behaves via the UI)
