Hi guys, please test this patch out.

A file menu entry and context menu entries have been added with the name "Pop selected objects out of group". I chose "pop out of group" as the terminology since it does not "ungroup" the selected objects, but rather moves them out of the current group to the next level above which could be another group itself).

You can pop out a single object or a selection of objects.

known issues:
-the file menu entry is not greyed out when action cannot be performed
-using the XML browser to select the objects for some reason does not update the internal selection, and therefore you need to then go and click the objects on the canvas before you can perform the action
-popping out the only item in a group does not remove the empty group

any input on how to fix the above issues would be appreciated.
