[POST] Create or update groupings of print queue computers

This endpoint creates or updates groupings of print queue computers.

If there is no grouping with the same GroupName, a new grouping will be created. If there is already a grouping registered with the same GroupName, but with different GroupDescription information, the grouping will be updated.

If there is no computer with the same Hostname, a new computer will be created and automatically linked to the grouping.
