As of now, for a host group to be created, at least one host must exist with one of the host group's site admin addresses assigned to it. This makes it impossible to pre-emptively create host groups before hosts have been created/assigned.
To change this, we need to refactor some of the code in ZabbixHostgroupUpdater.do_update():
Specifically the bit around creating groups when fetching the Zabbix group ID for a specific group. We could likely just loop through all groups and create them before we assign them to hosts.
