The groupadd from shadow does not allow upper case group names, the
same is true for the upstream shadow. But distributions like
Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS has their own way to cope with this problem,

and is_valid_group_name, following above change.
* libmisc/chkname.c: Avoid implicit conversion of chars to
booleans. Add brackets and parenthesis.
