I think Honza's comment makes sense. We can merge the functionality to
automember-rebuild command:

$ ipa automember-rebuild --type=group [ENTRY]
$ ipa automember-rebuild --type=hostgroup [ENTRY]

If no ENTRY is specified, it would run rebuild for all entries. If ENTRY is
specified, it would use it as Primary Key the entry - user uid or group name.

This way the API should be consistent with the rest of the automember plugin.

Makes sense?
