feat: add Nat.gcd_left_comm and Int.gcd_left_comm (#11901)

This PR adds `gcd_left_comm` lemmas for both `Nat` and `Int`:

- `Nat.gcd_left_comm`: `gcd m (gcd n k) = gcd n (gcd m k)`
- `Int.gcd_left_comm`: `gcd a (gcd b c) = gcd b (gcd a c)`

These lemmas establish the left-commutativity property for gcd,
complementing the existing `gcd_comm` and `gcd_assoc` lemmas.
