[midPoint] SAP-Connector - update of ACTIVITYGROUPS

[Martin Lízner - AMI Praha a.s.]

Hi, personally I recommend handling SAP roles as XML via attribute
ri:ACTIVITYGROUPS. You would need special meta role that creates the XML
for respective role and derives dates from focusAssignment?.activation
field. Using flat list leads to problems you described.

Thank you for your pull request, its a workaround, but probably necessary
if you go with the flat list :-) Anyway please make sure that the change
does not fiddle with ACTIVITYGROUPS XML behaviour. If only midPoint has
support for complex resource attributes, that would make things much easier.

Regards, Martin
