id: output the effective group for the process
* src/id.c (print_full_info): When no user is specified,
output the effective group for the _process_, rather than
the default group from the system database, which may be different.
* tests/id/setgid.sh: Add a case for `id` as well as `id -G`.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/7320
