XProfile Group Admin: Improve "Add New Field Group" UX

Description

On the "Add New Field Group" admin page, there used to be a placeholder on the "Group Name" input field.

This was removed in r8632 when introducing the "URL" XProfile field type. Any idea why?

This is bad for UX. See attached screenshots.

01.patch brings back the placeholder. I understand that this is a string change so putting this under the 2.2 milestone, but could be deemed a regression.

johnjamesjacoby would have to answer that, but I'm guessing it was an error. In any case, it should not have been lumped in with the URL changeset, and should be subject to discussion.

Regression trumps string freeze. Let's do it for 2.1.

This should be used with esc_attr but other than that it looks OK. I'll commit it later (unless someone beats me to it) so it makes beta 2.

XProfile Admin: Add placeholder attribute to group name and field name input fields.

This improves the UX when having to add a new profile group or profile
field on the "Users > Profile Fields" admin page.

Fixes #5859.
