Cauchy's bound on polynomial roots.

The bound is given by Polynomial.cauchyBound, which for a_n x^n + a_(n-1) x^(n - 1) + ⋯ + a_0 is 1 + max_(0 ≤ i < n) a_i / a_n.

The theorem that this gives a bound to polynomial roots is Polynomial.IsRoot.norm_lt_cauchyBound.

noncomputable def Polynomial.cauchyBound {K : Type u_1} [NormedDivisionRing K] (p : Polynomial K) : NNReal

Cauchy's bound on the roots of a given polynomial. See IsRoot.norm_lt_cauchyBound for the proof that the roots satisfy this bound.
