privx_findOnChainPrivacyGroup returns incorrect results

[akuanti]

Instead of returning the privacy groups with the given member, it seems to return all privacy groups including the given member.

Steps to Reproduce (Bug)

1. Create an on-chain privacy group with members [A]
2. Create another on-chain privacy group with members [A, B]
3. Call privx_findOnChainPrivacyGroup with members [A] from member A
4. Call privx_findOnChainPrivacyGroup with members [A] from member B

Expected behavior: 3. should return a single privacy group with members [A] 4. should return an empty list []

Actual behavior: 3. returns both the group with members [A] and the group with members [A, B] 4. returns the group with members [A, B]

[akuanti]

This appears to be intended behavior. On-chain and off-chain privacy groups have different behavior.

For off-chain groups, find returns the visible groups that have exactly the specified members, or the empty list.

For on-chain groups, find returns the visible groups filtered by the specified list of members. Passing the empty list does no filtering, and returns all the groups the node's Orion public key belongs to. Passing a list with keys [A, B] filters this list for groups containing all the specified members. If groups [A], [A,B], and [B] exist, then

• find(A, []) -> [A], [A, B] (no filter)
• find(A, [A]) -> [A], [A, B] (groups containing A, equivalent to no filter)
• find(A, [B]) -> [A, B] (groups containing B)
• find(A, [A, B]) -> [A, B] (groups containing A and B)
• find(B, []) -> [B], [A, B] (no filter)
• find(B, [A]) -> [A, B] (groups containing A)
• find(B, [B]) -> [B], [A, B] (groups containing B, equivalent to no filter)
• find(B, [A, B]) -> [A, B] (groups containing A and B)
• find(C, *) -> [] (no filter)

I'm going to move this to a docs ticket so we can make this expected behaviour clear.
