Subject: [PATCH] groups: fix `movewindoworgroup` when moving from group to
 group (#14086)

* Add test for movewindowgroup

* groups: Fix `movewindoworgroup` moving into group

Fixes `CKeybindManager::moveWindowIntoGroup` to
remove a window from a group before attempting
to add it to another group. Addresses #13843.

But the animation of moving a window from a group
into another group now looks weird: as if the
whole target group is being moved.
