948491 - Implement join functionality for curated groups

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[Andrei Hajdukewycz [:sancus]]

Right now you can't join a curated group, and curated groups need to support the user request/steward approves workflow for joining, so this bug is for implementing functionality needed to properly join a curated group.

"* As a user, I can request to join a curated group unless the "Group is accepting new members" flag is set to false (see below) by clicking a button on the group's web page", see other relevant bits of the spec at: https://mozillians.etherpad.mozilla.org/curated-group-specs

Branch is developing here: https://github.com/caktus/mozillians/tree/938723-view-group-as-curator

I have the front-end components in the templates/css. Dan is still sorting out functionality. We will probably finish it tomorrow.

QA verified on stage - the join functionality on curated groups is such that protected groups require permission to join (granted by the curator). Flags can be set to close membership.
