Thanks for the pull request!

This does the same (untested!):
```
elgg_get_entities(array(
'type' => 'group',
'joins' => array("JOIN {$db_prefix}groups_entity ge"),
'wheres' => array("ge.name = '$name'"),
));
```

Here are a few questions/comments (everyone is welcome to chime in):
1. Is this a function we want in core? I know that I have wanted to get groups by name before, but does it cross the line to merit inclusion in core?
2. Our policy is to not add new functions/classes in minor releases. If we did add this, we do it in 1.9.0.
