verbose group match logging

When using identity management it can be tricky to debug non-local
users logins, especially in combination with many groups used, as
described in our bugzilla [1] (related pull request on github [2]).

The actual problem is lying in sssd, but having this feature can help
to debug and understand what is going on under the hood of sshd during
login time and during group matching.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set 'AllowGroups test_group "domain user group"' to the
/etc/ssh/sshd_config file
2. Set 'LogLevel Debug3' in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.
3. Restart sshd.
4. Attempt to log in with a user in the 'users' group.

Actual results:
5. Remain puzzled

Expected results:
5. Find out that the "domain user group" is never being pulled from
the
group list and so never matches.  Or something.
