Configuration: corrected check of group name
When built in 'group' mode, the write permissions of all created files will be activated for a certain group of users in the host operating system. The user specifies the name of the group with the '--group' option at configure time. At the very start, the './project' script checks to see if the given group name actually exists or not (to avoid hard-to-debug errors popping up later). Until now, the checking 'sg' command (that was used to build the project with group-writable permissions) would always fail due to the excessive number of redirections. Therefore, it would always print the error message and abort. With this commit, the output of 'sg' is no longer re-directed (which also helps users in debuggin). If the group does actually exist, it will just print a small statement saying so, and if it fails, the error message is printed. This fixed the problem, allowing maneage to be built in group-mode. I also noticed that the variable name keeping the group name ('reproducible_paper_group_name') used the old name for the project (which was "Reproducible paper template"! So it has been changed/corrected to 'maneage_group_name'.
