Fix keeping certain groups with nogroups

This amends commit b828a9047 ("Keep audio and video groups regardless of
nogroups", 2021-11-28) from PR #4725.

The commit above did not change the behavior (the groups are still not
kept).  With this commit, it appears to work properly:

    $ groups | grep audio >/dev/null && echo kept
    kept
    # with check_can_drop_all_groups == 0
    $ firejail --quiet --noprofile --nogroups groups |
      grep audio >/dev/null && echo kept
    kept
    # with check_can_drop_all_groups == 1
    $ firejail --quiet --noprofile --nogroups groups |
      grep audio >/dev/null && echo kept
    $

Add a new check_can_drop_all_groups function to check whether the
supplementary groups can be safely dropped without potentially causing
issues with audio, 3D hardware acceleration or input (and maybe more).
It returns false if nvidia (and no `no3d`) is used or if (e)logind is
not running, as in either case the supplementary groups might be needed.

Note: With this, the behavior from before #4725 is restored on (e)logind
systems (when not using nvidia), as it makes the supplementary groups
always be dropped on such systems.

Note2: Even with the static variable, these checks still happen at least
twice.  It seems that it happens once per translation unit (and I think
that it may happen more times if there are multiple processes involved).

This also amends (/kind of reverts) commit 6ddedeba0 ("Make nogroups
work on nvidia again", 2021-11-29) from PR #4725, as it restores the
nvidia check from it into the new check_can_drop_all_groups function.
