Add ability to group analysis sets which represent different analysis cases

Piping Stress, Pipe Support, and Foundation load generation require different analysis conditions using different seismic loads to meet differing code requirements.

Currently, this is difficult to manage in the same autopipe file as users may have upto 15+ analysis sets for 5 operating cases under non-linear analysis. 6 analysis sets apply to piping stress analysis, while another 6 only apply for pipe support analysis, and another 6 may apply only for foundation loads. Switching between these group of analysis sets is tedious, and error prone as it needs to be done manually. One method to solve this is to create separate files for different disciplines/analysis sets, but that creates its own sets of issues while trying to maintain all three model in sync.

Ideally, it would help to have a means of grouping analysis sets, with ability to activate and deactivate different analysis sets quickly. Additionally, users need the ability to create default analysis sets for each group without deleting/overwriting existing analysis sets.
