current HomeKit binding does not support groups with a base item, eg.
it would create only one accessory - for the group but not for light_1 and light_2. the logic is following: if an item is part of bigger group with homekit tag, then the item is a characteristic of this homekit accessory/group.
this PR fix this issue by ignoring groups with base item.
