fixed bug in groupby group names when grouping with a length-1 list

[natmokval]

in this PR I changed group keys type to 1-tuples when grouping with a length-1 list for consistency with the type of group names.

To fix the inconsistency with the types, I added the parameter key_dtype_str in the Grouping constructor. However, these changes have caused some tests to fail, such as: pandas/tests/groupby/test_grouping.py -k test_groups

I think my changes should not break existing tests. @rhshadrach, could you please take a look at my changes?

This test is checking the behavior that you're changing, the test needs to be updated to the new behavior. In any case, I think this needs to be deprecated before this change can be made.
