Describe the feature you'd like
I was wondering if there could be a flag in .env like SAML2_AUTO_CREATE_GROUPS that allows to automatically create groups from the SAML group sync. So not manually adding the groups, but rather automatically create them inheriting the permissions of an existing group (e.g. Viewer or Guest).

Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
Instead of manually adding the groups, this could greatly avoid the risk of mistyping the matching group names. Also within a huge organization, this probably would take hours. So just auto-create them based on a template group and then the admin can define more fine-grained permissions on top.

Additional context
I think this feature is quite obvious, but I didn't find a matching ticket in the issues section.
