 In `xprofile_insert_field()` BuddyPress bails early if no field group is
 specified. This makes sense from a data-hierarchy stand-point, but also
 prevents developers from easily having "hidden" or "groupless" fields, and
 instead forces them to intercept output, filter raw query data, etc...

 How do we feel about allowing profile fields to not have a field group?
 Any caveats y'all can think of?
