Special permgroup method for multiple conjugation tests in SubgroupsOrbitsAndNormalizers only applies if the groups are subgroups of the acting one. This fixes #5717
Included is a hook to shortcut a test for a subgroup being abelian in InducedPcgsByGeneratorsNC -- this is relevant for an application with multiple 100s of generators.

This test can become expensive in pcgs of length several hundred, as they
might arise in the hybrid quotient algorithm.

Nice!

Could also just TryNextMethod here and get rid of sub again shrug

Suggested change
sub:=ForAll(dom,x->IsSubset(G,x));
if n>20 and sub and NrMovedPoints(G)>1000 then
#and NrMovedPoints(G)*1000>Size(G) then
if not ForAll(dom,x->IsSubset(G,x)) then TryNextMethod(); fi;
if n>20 and NrMovedPoints(G)>1000 then

Yes. This is a fix, and I thus wanted to make the structure as simple and clear as possible. Ultimately I want to be able to get rid of this subset condition again.

…lvable groups (#5723)

Special permgroup method for multiple conjugation tests only applies if the
groups are subgroups of the acting one.

Also added an option to cut short abelian test.
