Defines functions findTopGOs

#' Find top gene ontology terms for groups of genes
#'  based on the result obtained from \code{findAllGOs}.
#' @noRd
#' @param AllGOs A list of lists of vectors each with a p-value
#'  obtained from Fisher test, GO id and all members of each group.
#' @param sig.level A numeric value, a significance
#'  level used in BH correction for multiple testing.
#' @param top A number of the most characteristic
#'  functions of groups of genes to be returned.
#'
#' @return A list of lists of corrected p-values of Fisher test of
#'  characteristic for each group GO terms named with
#'  gene ontology terms identifiers.
