[SUREFIRE-1645] Surefire excludedGroups not overriding groups

**[Ulf Lilleengen](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=lulf)** opened **[SUREFIRE-1645](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1645?redirect=false)** and commented

With maven-surefire-plugin 2.22.1 and junit platform 1.4.0, junit 5 tests that have tags both in the included and excluded groups will always include the tests. This behavior is different when adding the dependency on junit-platform-surefire-provider 1.3.2, which will cause the exclusion to take precedence over the inclusion.

Assuming a test is tagged with both tag1 and tag2, the following will run the test:

```java
           
                org.apache.maven.plugins
                maven-surefire-plugin
2.22.1
               
                   
                        tag1
                        tag2
                   
               
           
```

Whereas the following will not run the test

```java
           
                org.apache.maven.plugins
                maven-surefire-plugin
               
                   
                        tag1
                        tag2
                   
               
               
                 
                    org.junit.platform
                    junit-platform-surefire-provider
                    1.3.2
                 
               
           
```

I think the appropriate thing to do is to have exclusion take precedence over inclusion.

Start by reproducing the Maven Surefire 2.22.1 configuration with a JUnit 5 test tagged with both tag1 and tag2, comparing behavior with and without junit-platform-surefire-provider 1.3.2. Done means an excluded tag takes precedence and the overlapping test does not run.
