Have expanded the definition-section and added References to symplectic groupoid.

I thought for a while that nowhere in the literature is the observation that a symplectic groupoid really is a 2-plectic structure and that its prequantization really involves a prequantum 2-bundle.

But now I found, to my relief, that this is essentially made explicit in
