Nullstellensatz #

This file establishes a version of Hilbert's classical Nullstellensatz for mv_polynomials. The main statement of the theorem is vanishing_ideal_zero_locus_eq_radical.

The statement is in terms of new definitions vanishing_ideal and zero_locus. Mathlib already has versions of these in terms of the prime spectrum of a ring, but those are not well-suited for expressing this result. Suggestions for better ways to state this theorem or organize things are welcome.

The machinery around vanishing_ideal and zero_locus is also minimal, I only added lemmas directly needed in this proof, since I'm not sure if they are the right approach.
