Adds a group to a toolbar menu node.

Groups can be used to organize toolbar items into distinct sections of a toolbar menu.

$args array Required

Array of arguments for adding a group.

• idstring
  ID of the item.
• parentstring
  Optional. ID of the parent node. Default 'root'.
• metaarray
  Meta data for the group including the following keys: 'class', 'onclick', 'target', and 'title'.

• Toolbar items are also called “nodes”. Nodes can be parents for other nodes, which creates dropdown menus. When adding a group you’re actually adding a group node. Group nodes are not visible in the Toolbar, but nodes added to it are.
• This function is a method of the WP_Admin_Bar class and $wp_admin_bar global object, which may not exist except during the ‘admin_bar_menu‘ or ‘wp_before_admin_bar_render‘ hooks.
• The Toolbar replaces the Admin Bar since WordPress Version 3.3.
