Re: [mediacapture-main] Redefine groupId to be more narrow and useful (#899)

For my use cases, the `groupId` can be useful, for input **and output**.

If I have a list of input devices and a list of output devices, I'd like to know what I/O pairs together.  Common devices where this is useful include USB headsets, USB microphones with integrated headphone jacks, and DJ mixers/decks.

Other cases include virtual devices.  For instance, many multichannel audio interfaces include drivers to split many channels into stereo pairs to be shown to software as virtual audio devices.

I don't know what all is possible on the OS side of things, but group ID should definitely consider output/monitor devices when relevant.
