If normal subgroups have abelian factors, intersection can only be avoided, if both normals have abelian factor, not if only one has, as the code did erraneously.
Also set min degree of trivial group to 0, not 1
This fixes #5729

An error in MinimalFaithfulPermutationDegree, for the case of abelian direct factors, was fixed.

If normal subgroups have abelian factors, intersection can only be avoided,
