bug#36765: 27.0.50; gnus-group-split-setup should delay until Gnus has finished starting up |

The Gnus manual instructs users to put a call to
`gnus-group-split-setup' in their gnus.el file if they want to skip over
some tedious manual configuration.
The problem with this is that the function has:
(gnus-group-split-update)
(when auto-update
(add-hook 'nnmail-pre-get-new-mail-hook 'gnus-group-split-update))
Meaning that `gnus-group-split-update' is called immediately when this
function is run, which happens before Gnus is done starting up.
split-update calls `gnus-group-split-fancy' which ends up accessing
group parameters on all Gnus groups. Parameter access only works when
gnus-newsrc-hashtb is already initialized. When the hashtb was an
obarray, this process was a silent no-op. Now that they're hashtables,
it signals a type error.
I think a simple solution would be to change the above to:
(add-hook (if auto-update
'nnmail-pre-get-new-mail-hook
'gnus-started-hook)
'gnus-group-split-update)
Ie, if auto-update isn't passed, only run the update once, at start time.
