Semirings and rings

This file gives lemmas about semirings, rings and domains. This is analogous to Mathlib/Algebra/Group/Basic.lean, the difference being that the former is about + and * separately, while the present file is about their interaction.

For the definitions of semirings and rings see Mathlib/Algebra/Ring/Defs.lean.
