bpo-40376: slightly improved the wording for os.getgrouplist (GH-19702) (GH-91557)
The documentation for os.getgrouplist potentially read like it returned all groups a user belongs to but it potentially doesn't. Co-authored-by: Jelle Zijlstra <jelle.zijlstra@gmail.com> (cherry picked from commit bd26ef5e9e701d2ab3509a49d9351259a3670772) Co-authored-by: Jens Holzkämper <jens@holzkaemper.berlin>
