The group filter in TopicsFilter was including deleted posts when determining wh…ether a topic had contributions from a specific group's members. This caused topics to appear in group-filtered results even when the only post from a group member had been deleted. Added a `deleted_at IS NULL` condition to both the single-group (OR) and multi-group (AND) query paths, consistent with how whisper posts are already filtered. https://meta.discourse.org/t/396807
