Issue with the new membership object in DQL

In case of a circular group, query returns inconsistent results for the depth and directgroup attributes, when the query has topgroup or membergroup in the WHERE condition.

Also, retrieving membergroup.memberusers or membergroup.membergroups will give incosistent results in the depth column in the membership table.

In case a group is in a circular membership, that is, the group becomes a member group of itself, the depth and the directgroup attribute for the the row of that group could be inconsistent depends on the WHERE condition. For example, suppose G1 and G2 are member groups of each other (thus circular), then for G1 row, topgroup = G1, membergroup = G1, depth = either 0 or 2, direct_group = either G2 or NULL. This issue only impacts groups with circular membership.
