Group placeholder reassignments API

Use this API to reassign placeholder users in bulk.

Prerequisites:

• You must have the Owner role for the group.
  User contribution mapping is not supported when you import projects to a personal namespace. When you import to a personal namespace and the user_mapping_to_personal_namespace_owner feature flag is enabled, all contributions are assigned to the personal namespace owner and they cannot be reassigned. When the user_mapping_to_personal_namespace_owner feature flag is disabled, all contributions are assigned to a single non-functional user called Import User and they cannot be reassigned.
