[jats-list] table-wrap-foot example with fn-group

Although the example in the JATS documentation for
<table-wrap-foot>[1] contains multiple <fn> elements wrapped in an
<fn-group>, PubMed Central's Style Checker complains about this usage
and wants the <fn> elements to be direct children of the
<table-wrap-foot>.

As there's presumably some good reasoning behind PMC's choice (not
documented, other than "Tag table footnotes in <table-wrap-foot>"[2],
would it be useful to update the example to be in line with common
usage, unless there's some particular reason for <fn-group> to be used
in this location?

I've experienced this error/warning in practice, and have edited the
<fn-group> out of some article XML to comply with the PMC guidelines.
