This should be mitigated if you have COMPAT_FREEBSD14 enabled?  Old packages would
reference the old compat symbol versions in libc, which should use the COMPAT_FREEBSD14
variants of setgroups/getgroups.  If you have a pointer to scenarios where that isn't
the case, that'd be helpful- old packages should be fine in the GENERIC case.
