optional arg of file-ownership-preserved-p.
(file-ownership-preserved-p): New optional arg GROUP.
Fix mishandling of setuid directories that would cause this
function to return t when it should have returned nil.
Document what happens if the file does not exist, and when
it's not known whether the ownership will be preserved.

Likewise.
(tramp-get-local-gid): Use group-gid for integer, as that's

1df7defd80 Fix minor whitespace issues after "." in manual.
Be more systematic about using "@." (not ".") at end of sentence that
ends in a capital letter, and about appending "@:" after non-ends of
sentences that end in a lower case letter followed by "." followed by
whitespace.  Omit unnecessary use of "@:" and "@.".  Similarly for "?"
and "!".  Be more consistent about putting a comma after "i.e." and
"e.g."; this is the typical American style and it's easier to code in
Texinfo.
