On calling the livestatus table hostsbygroup with an AuthUser the table did not hide the entire hostsgroup in case the group_authorization was set to strict and one host in the group was not a contact for the AuthUser.

This has been fixed.

With the group_authorization strict setting the AuthUser now needs to be a contact of every host in the hostgroup, otherwise the hostgroup is not shown at all.
