EXHIBIT: Browse panel grouping constraints

It would be nice if the exhibit browse panel would allow specifying which
facets should (not) be available for grouping operations, or indeed if
grouping should be allowed at all. (Some interfaces serve users better by
not detonating featuritis in their faces. :-)

Example (you may want to pick the plain style sheet; in Firefox's menus
found as View -> Page Style -> Plain backdrop):

http://ecmanaut.googlepages.com/choir-events.html

The Stad (city) facet can be grouped by type (rendering the only available
type "Stad"), Beskrivning (description -- a long piece of prose about the
place) and Bubbelstorlek (info bubble height in pixels), neither of which
is useful for anything, and are only puzzling sharp ends pointing at the users.

A per-facet attribute ex:possibleGroupings or similar would be very nice
and well received. Showing everything, as today, is a good default value,
if unspecified.
