The positive (and negative) parts of a selfadjoint element in a C⋆-algebra #

This file defines the positive and negative parts of a selfadjoint element in a C⋆-algebra via the continuous functional calculus and develops the basic API, including the uniqueness of the positive and negative parts.

The positive and negative parts of a selfadjoint element a are unique. That is, if a = b - c is the difference of nonnegative elements whose product is zero, then these are precisely a⁺ and a⁻.
