feat(linear_algebra/affine_space): affine independence (#3140) Define affine independent indexed families of points (in terms of no nontrivial `weighted_vsub` in the family being zero), prove that a family of at most one point is affine independent, and prove a family of points is affine independent if and only if a corresponding family of subtractions is linearly independent. There are of course other equivalent descriptions of affine independent families it will be useful to add later (that the affine span of all proper subfamilies is smaller than the affine span of the whole family, that each point is not in the affine span of the rest; in the case of a family indexed by a `fintype`, that the dimension of the affine span is one less than the cardinality). But I think the definition and one equivalent formulation is a reasonable starting point. Co-authored-by: Patrick Massot <patrickmassot@free.fr>
