    LUGroupAssignNodes: Fix node membership corruption · 218f4c3d

    Note: This bug only manifests itself in Ganeti 2.5, but since the
    problematic code also exists in 2.4, I decided to fix it there.
    
    If a node was assigned to a new group using “gnt-group assign-nodes” the
    node object's group would be changed, but not the duplicate member list
    in the group object. The latter is an optimization to require fewer
    locks for other operations. The per-group member list is only kept in
    memory and not written to disk.
    
    Ganeti 2.5 starts to make use of the data kept in the per-group member
    list and consequently fails when it is out of date. The following
    commands can be used to reproduce the issue in 2.5 (in 2.4 the issue was
    confirmed using additional logging):
    
      $ gnt-group add foo
      $ gnt-group assign-nodes foo $(gnt-node list --no-header -o name)
      $ gnt-cluster verify  # Fails with KeyError
    
    This patch moves the code modifying node and group objects into
    “config.ConfigWriter” to do the complete operation under the config
    lock, and also to avoid making use of side-effects of modifying objects
    without calling “ConfigWriter.Update”. A unittest is included.
