Summary of Changes

Updated the getAssignedGroups method in the userModel to check for an active list fillter before it fallls back to the default group. I added logic to get the group_id from the session state using the com_users.users.default.filter path so that if a filter is active , it become the preselected group for the new user.

Testing Instructions

go to users -> manage
Use the filter dropdown to select a group (for eg Manager).
now create a new user
click Assigned User Groups

Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request

the form ignores the active filter and always defaults to checking the Registered group.

Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request

The group you choose to filtered by in the list (e.g Manager) is already checked for you (as default).
