Info about a group.

When updating the [local peer database](https://core.telegram.org/api/peers), all fields from the newly received constructor take priority over the old constructor cached locally (including by removing fields that aren't set in the new constructor).

See [here »](https://github.com/tdlib/td/blob/a24af0992245f838f2b4b418a0a2d5fa9caa27b5/td/telegram/ChatManager.cpp#L5152) for an implementation of the logic to use when updating the [local user peer database](https://core.telegram.org/api/peers).
