Allow group vocabulary customization

Problem/Motivation

It looks as if the GROUP_VOCABULARY constant is only being utilized in the LocalistManager. We could allow this to be modified, providing a taxonomy drop down to select an existing one, defaulting to localist_groups.

Steps to reproduce

  • Create a new taxonomy like `event_groups`.
  • Attempt to set up localist, seeing that it complains about `localist_groups` not existing as a taxonomy.

Proposed resolution

  • Move this constant into config, allowing the user to specify a taxonomy

Remaining tasks

  • Create config item for setting the group taxonomy, defaulting to `localist_groups` if it exists
  • Create an accessor for retrieving this easily from the LocalistManager
  • Replace references to the constant with this accessor
  • Remove constant
  • Update checks to use this to determine readiness
  • Add disclaimer to make proper modifications in the custom migration

User interface changes

  • Adding a new editable config item: `localist_groups_taxonomy`

API changes

Data model changes

  • Add new config for `localist_groups_taxonomy`

Motivation for change

For our proof of concept site, we already have an established name for the groups, which we'd like to re-use. It looks as if we can properly use it via custom migration, but the checks make it seem like it's not configured correctly. I can also see this being a motivation for changing the field name looked at as well in the future. (Maybe another issue ticket?)
