Next level of Proxy support for animation: Proxy for duplicated groups.

Notes:
- Only referenced groups (from other files)
- Only 1 group (no more duplicates using same group yet)
- Only Proxy working well for Armature or Empty

Is going to be reviewed in Plumiferos team; but target is that this will
solve a major animation pipeline bottleneck :)

Usage; select group, alt+ctrl+p, pick an object you want to proxify.
