[svn] * src/group.h,src/group.c,src/noffle.c,src/server.c: Grp_setLastAccess is
only ever called with last param as time(NULL), so remove it and call
time() inside the implementation of Grp_setLastAccess.
* src/client.c,src/group.h,src/group.c,src/noffle.c,src/post.c: Groups are
automatically unsubscribed when the last access to the group is older
than a particular threshold. However, for very low traffic groups, the
last access may exceed the threshold simply because there has been no new
article posted. In this case, rather than unsubscribe, update the group
last access time. This means that groups are now only unsubscribed if
the last access exceeds the threshold AND articles have arrived in the
group since. Add Grp_setLastPostTime() to track the last time an article
arrived in the group.
