Sets things up so that nnmail-split-fancy is used for mail

group parameters.

If AUTO-UPDATE is non-nil (prefix argument accepted, if called
interactively), it makes sure nnmail-split-fancy is re-computed before
getting new mail, by adding gnus-group-split-update to
nnmail-pre-get-new-mail-hook.

A non-nil CATCH-ALL replaces the current value of
gnus-group-split-default-catch-all-group.  This variable is only used
by gnus-group-split-update, and only when its CATCH-ALL argument is
nil.  This argument may contain any fancy split, that will be added as
the last split in a `|' split produced by gnus-group-split-fancy,
unless overridden by any group marked as a catch-all group.  Typical
uses are as simple as the name of a default mail group, but more
elaborate fancy splits may also be useful to split mail that doesn't
match any of the group-specified splitting rules.  See
gnus-group-split-fancy for details."

\(: gnus-group-split-fancy GROUPS NO-CROSSPOST CATCH-ALL\)

GROUPS may be a regular expression or a list of group names, that will
be used to select candidate groups.  If it is ommited or nil, all
existing groups are considered.

if NO-CROSSPOST is ommitted or nil, a & split will be returned,
otherwise, a | split, that does not allow crossposting, will be
returned.

For each selected group, a SPLIT is composed like this: if SPLIT-SPEC
is specified, this split is returned as-is (unless it is nil: in this
case, the group is ignored).  Otherwise, if TO-ADDRESS, TO-LIST and/or
EXTRA-ALIASES are specified, a regexp that matches any of them is
constructed (extra-aliases may be a list).  Additionally, if
SPLIT-REGEXP is specified, the regexp will be extended so that it
matches this regexp too, and if SPLIT-EXCLUDE is specified, RESTRICT
clauses will be generated.

If CATCH-ALL is nil, no catch-all handling is performed, regardless of
catch-all marks in group parameters.  Otherwise, if there is no
selected group whose SPLIT-REGEXP matches the empty string, nor is
there a selected group whose SPLIT-SPEC is 'catch-all, this fancy
split (say, a group name) will be appended to the returned SPLIT list,
as the last element of a '| SPLIT.

For example, given the following group parameters:

nnml:mail.bar:
\((to-address . \"[e-mail]\")
 (split-regexp . \".*@femail\\\\.com\"))
nnml:mail.foo:
\((to-list . \"[e-mail]\")
 (extra-aliases \"foo@localhost\" \"foo-redist@home\")
 (split-exclude \"bugs-foo\" \"rambling-foo\")
 (admin-address . \"[e-mail]\"))
nnml:mail.others:
\((split-spec . catch-all))

Calling (gnus-group-split-fancy nil nil \"mail.misc\") returns:

\(| (& (any \"\\\\(bar@femail\\\\.com\\\\|.*@femail\\\\.com\\\\)\"
	   \"mail.bar\")
      (any \"\\\\(foo@nowhere\\\\.gov\\\\|foo@localhost\\\\|foo-redist@home\\\\)\"
           - \"bugs-foo\" - \"rambling-foo\" \"mail.foo\"))
