process.c: fix rubyspec of Process.groups
getgroups(2) may return a GID list that includes duplicated GIDs. The behavior is totaly depends on what OS is used. This commit fixes the example of Process.groups so that the example is independent of this OS-dependent features. Additonaly, this commit adds the description of such system-dependent characteristics of Process.groups.
