ActorGroup<M, A> class

An ActorGroup groups a number of Actors using the same type of Handler to handle messages.

Notice that each Actor will have its own instance of the Handler, and because of that the Handlers cannot share any state.

When a message is sent to an ActorGroup it may be handled by any of the Actors in the group, or by many depending on the chosen GroupStrategy.

Each Actor runs, as usual, in its own Isolate.
