[OpenAFS] PTS oddity

[CCRE@ccre.com]

pts creategroup doesn't handle surprises very well

In the output below I pts setmax to -20000 and then create groups until I
reach a group that already exists at -20010

pts cg chokes with "pts: Couldn't allocate an id for this entry ; unable to
create group kim:foo11 with id 0 owned by 'kim'"

It would be a lot more graceful if "next available" were used instead of
"groupmax -1"
