backup-by-copying-when-privileged-mismatch applies to file gid, too.
* lisp/files.el (backup-by-copying-when-privileged-mismatch): In addition
to checking the file uid, a second test is added: if the file gid is not
greater than backup-by-copying-when-privileged-mismatch,
backup-by-copying-when-mismatch will also be forced on.
* doc/emacs/files.texi, doc/lispref/backups.texi: Updated documentation.
Also fixed a typo in the Emacs reference manual, changing "higher" to
"no greater" so that the limit is no longer documented reversed.
