 While working on #6431, I realized that the group search could be more
 flexible, like the `WP_User_Query` search that allows the specification of
 where the wildcard should be set and which columns should be searched.

 I'm attaching a patch that mostly duplicates the logic of `WP_User_Query`.
 The one difference is that our search has always assumed that the terms
 would be wild carded on both ends, so the default if no wildcard
 characters are detected is to follow the old behavior.

 (Re #6431, then `get_by_letter()` could just use `get()`.)
