When moderators (with `moderators_manage_groups` enabled) change a group's visib…ility or members visibility to "Owners only" while not being an owner themselves, they would permanently lose access to manage that group. Similarly, removing themselves as owner when visibility is set to "Owners only" would lock them out. This adds confirmation dialogs warning moderators before: - Changing group visibility to "Owners only" - Changing members visibility to "Owners only" - Removing themselves as owner when visibility is restrictive - Removing themselves as member when they're also an owner Also refactors the category lockout code from PR #36663 to use async/await for consistency.
