getgrouplist() iterate on each group, searching if the user is included, while group->gr_mem iterated on user list for the target group. In some case the former method can miss the result while the later will succeed. This is the case for OpenLDAP dyngroup, where the group members are automatically generated on group search. Searching by group member gives no result, while searching the member of a given groups is fine.

Will consider this, although I am definitely not super happy about the inconsistency... |

I reworked this change to move the membership list check up front, followed by the getgrouplist check. We already have the list of usernames that are members, so this made more sense than checking after the (semi-expensive) getgrouplist check.
