Filtered colimits commute with finite limits.

We show that for a functor F : J × K ⥤ Type v, when J is finite and K is filtered, the universal morphism colimitLimitToLimitColimit F comparing the colimit (over K) of the limits (over J) with the limit of the colimits is an isomorphism.

(In fact, to prove that it is injective only requires that J has finitely many objects.)

(G ⋙ lim).obj j = limit (G.obj j) definitionally, so this is just a variant of limit_ext'.

Injectivity doesn't need that we have finitely many morphisms in J, only that there are finitely many objects.
