[packagekit] Adding group install/remove functionality

[Adrien BUSTANY]

About the "Is this a common use case" question :
Yes, it can be useful for "install the kde desktop", or "install the 
virtualization tools". I don't know the names of all the packages, and 
don't when to check them all manually.
