this is the simplest of the constructions to be ported from C++ to Lean,
so I’ll PR this one first.
This begins to put each construction into its own file, as it was the
case with C++.
For validation I developed this in a separate repository at
https://github.com/nomeata/lean-constructions/tree/fad715e
and checked that all `.recOn` declarations found in Lean and Mathlib are
identical (per `==`) to the ones produced by the C code.
