cred: Fix group_is_primary()

This helper wasn't updated in commit be1f7435ef21, so in reality it was
testing whether "gid" is the first supplemental group. If a user
doesn't belong to a supplementary group, then it's testing an
uninitialized slot; since ucreds are allocated with M_ZERO, this
typically means that we're testing gid == 0.

group_is_primary() has exactly one use, in mac_do. There, it's used to
determine whether the requested primary GID can be used in a setcred(2)
call when the ruleset does not explicitly specify a target primary GID.

I believe this is mostly exploitable by daemons which have explicitly
dropped privileges and called setgroups(0, NULL); logged in users will
have a non-empty supplementary group list by virtue of having gone
through initgroups(3).

Fix group_is_primary(), and add a regression test.
