#55332: chown does not support changing group

 The `lchown` C function in src/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.c accepts a file path,
 username, and optional group name.

 But the `chown` Tcl procedure in src/port1.0/portutil.tcl that calls it
 does only accepts a file path and username.

 Should `chown` also accept an optional group name?
