Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?
Now that spaces are available on iOS we should remove support for Groups. They have already been removed from [web](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/8027) and the [js-sdk](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/pull/2234) and are deprecated in [synapse](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/12200).

#### How would you like to do it?
- [x] Remove support from Element iOS
- [ ] Remove support from matrix-ios-sdk

Research direction

No Element iOS files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the app's Groups support and compare the linked matrix-react-sdk and matrix-js-sdk removals for scope. Done means Element iOS no longer supports Groups while Spaces remain available; the unchecked matrix-ios-sdk task is explicitly out of scope.
