fcntl: rename F_OWNER_GID to F_OWNER_PGRP
This is for consistency with various ioctl() operations that include the
suffix "PGRP" in their names, and also for consistency with PRIO_PGRP,
used with setpriority() and getpriority(). Also, using PGRP instead of
GID avoids confusion with the common abbreviation of "group ID".
I'm fine with anything that makes it more consistent, and if PGRP is what
is the predominant abbreviation then I see no need to further confuse
matters by adding a third one.
