tdesc: handle arbitrary strings in tdesc_register_in_reggroup_p

tdesc_register_in_reggroup_p in now able to handle arbitrary
groups. This is useful when groups are created while the
target descriptor file is received from the remote.

This can be the case of a soft core target processor where
registers/groups can change.
