bug#74030: [PATCH] srfi-64: Accept symbols as test group names.

[Tomas Volf]

The specification mandates a string, but with rationale suggesting symbols
would be a more natural fit.

> In some ways using symbols would be preferable. However, we want
> human-readable names, and standard Scheme does not provide a way to include
> spaces or mixed-case text in literal symbols.

Add support for symbols as implementation extension.

* module/srfi/srfi-64.scm (%cmp-group-name): New procedure.
(test-end): Use it.
