feat: List.mergeSort (#5092)
Defines `mergeSort`, a naive stable merge sort algorithm, replaces it
via a `@[csimp]` lemma with something faster at runtime, and proves the
following results:

* `mergeSort_sorted`: `mergeSort` produces a sorted list.
* `mergeSort_perm`: `mergeSort` is a permutation of the input list.
* `mergeSort_of_sorted`: `mergeSort` does not change a sorted list.
* `mergeSort_cons`: proves `mergeSort le (x :: xs) = l₁ ++ x :: l₂` for
some `l₁, l₂`
so that `mergeSort le xs = l₁ ++ l₂`, and no `a ∈ l₁` satisfies `le a
x`.
* `mergeSort_stable`: if `c` is a sorted sublist of `l`, then `c` is
still a sublist of `mergeSort le l`.

mergeSortBenchmark

Benchmarking List.mergeSort.

Run lake exe mergeSort k to run a benchmark on lists of size k * 10^5. This reports the average time (in milliseconds) to sort:

  • an already sorted list
  • a reverse sorted list
  • an almost sorted list
  • and a random list with duplicates

Run python3 bench.py to run this for k = 1, .., 10, and calculate a best fit of the model A * k + B * k * log k to the observed runtimes. (This isn't really what one should do: fitting a log to data across a single order of magnitude is not helpful.)
