Summation in topological groups

Summary

Let (xi)i∈I(x_i)_{i \in I} be a family in a commutative topological group, indexed by any set II. It has sum ss when the finite partial sums ∑i∈Fxi\sum_{i \in F} x_i converge to ss as the finite set F⊆IF \subseteq I grows. This defines infinite sums with no order on the index set, and the sum does not depend on any rearrangement. In a Hausdorff group a family has at most one sum. This is the notion of summability used in Mathlib (HasSum), and it covers series in ℝ\R, in Banach spaces and in pp-adic numbers.
