Grothendieck pretopologies

Definition and lemmas about Grothendieck pretopologies. A Grothendieck pretopology for a category C is a set of families of morphisms with fixed codomain, satisfying certain closure conditions.

We show that a pretopology generates a genuine Grothendieck topology, and every topology has a maximal pretopology which generates it.

The pretopology associated to a topological space is defined in Spaces.lean.

A (Grothendieck) pretopology on C consists of a collection of families of morphisms with a fixed target X for every object X in C, called "coverings" of X, which satisfies the following three axioms:

1. Every family consisting of a single isomorphism is a covering family.
2. The collection of covering families is stable under pullback.
3. Given a covering family, and a covering family on each domain of the former, the composition is a covering family.

In some sense, a pretopology can be seen as Grothendieck topology with weaker saturation conditions, in that each covering is not necessarily downward closed.

See: https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Grothendieck+pretopology, or https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/00VH, or [MM92] Chapter III, Section 2, Definition 2. Note that Stacks calls a category together with a pretopology a site, and [MM92] calls this a basis for a topology.
