Self Hosted Runner Registration Not Honouring RunnerGroup Provided

[aakashksunny13]

Describe the bug
If we have an existing runner in offline mode with name runner1 part of runnerGroup1 in offline mode then while provisioning a new runner with same name(runner1) specifying it to be part of runnerGroup2 as part of config command, runner will still register in runnerGroup1

This is problematic when hostname/private ip-address is used for runner names which can be re-used by infra provider after a period of time even though runner1 was not explicitly cleaned up from Github UI

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Register a self hosted runner with name runner1 in runnerGroup1
2. Shutdown/stop runner1 so that it will go offline mode in GitHub UI
3. Register a self hosted runner with name runner1 in runnerGroup2
4. We will see runner1 still being part of runnerGroup1 with following logs A runner exists with the same name √ Successfully replaced the runner

Expected behavior
runner1 should be in runnerGroup2 after step 3

Runner Version and Platform

v2.329.0?

OS of the machine running the runner? Linux
