 If there's a group `foo` and you try to create another group `foo`, your
 new group will have a slug like `foo-43983498` - we append a random number
 to the end. See `groups_check_slug()`. This is terrible.

 We should:

 1. Increment (`-2`, `-3`, etc) instead of using a random number. This is
 much friendlier.
 2. Add something to the UI that warns the user about the conflict and
 urges them to choose another name. (This should probably be a separate
 ticket.)
