Funding statement: The second author was supported by an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship for Experienced Researchers, by MTA Rényi “Lendület” Groups and Graphs Research Group, and by OTKA grants K84233 and K115799. Tong-Viet’s work is based on the research supported in part by the National Research Foundation of South Africa (Grant Number 93408). Part of the work was done while the last author held a position at the CRC 701 within the project C13 ‘The geometry and combinatorics of groups’. The first and second authors also wish to thank the CRC 701 for its support.
