    .Synopsis
       Returns a group from Jira
    .DESCRIPTION
       This function returns information regarding a specified group from JIRA.

       By default, this function does not display members of the group. This is JIRA's default
       behavior as well. To display group members, use Get-JiraGroupMember.
    .EXAMPLE
       Get-JiraGroup -GroupName testGroup -Credential $cred
       Returns information about the group "testGroup"
    .EXAMPLE
       Get-ADUser -filter "Name -like 'John*Smith'" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty samAccountName | Get-JiraUser -Credential $cred
       This example searches Active Directory for the username of John W. Smith, John H. Smith,
       and any other John Smiths, then obtains their JIRA user accounts.
    .INPUTS
       [Object[]] The group to look up in JIRA. This can be a String or a PSJira.Group object.
    .OUTPUTS
       [PSJira.Group]
