Batch process users into the appropriate groups

Group assignment can happen during the import process and this does not interfere with our existing WordPress Users roles.

1. From the Members Area choose Export Members (to generate a csv of your members)
2. Create a separate CSV file with the membership, so all users in MPA2017 would be on the same csv file while another group would be in a different csv file
3. Show the New Member / Import forms
4. In the Import Members section choose the CSV file to import and then check the proper group assignment
