Discreteness of subgroups in archimedean ordered groups #

This file contains some supplements to the results in Mathlib/Topology/Algebra/Order/Archimedean.lean, involving discreteness of subgroups, which require heavier imports.

In a linearly ordered group with the order topology, the powers of a single element form a discrete subgroup.

In a linearly ordered additive group with the order topology, the multiples of a single element form a discrete subgroup.

A subgroup of an archimedean linear ordered multiplicative commutative group G with order topology either is dense in G or is a cyclic subgroup.

An additive subgroup of an archimedean linear ordered additive commutative group G with order topology either is dense in G or is a cyclic subgroup.
