Existence of an open normal subgroup in any clopen neighborhood of the neutral element #

This file proves the lemma IsTopologicalGroup.exist_openNormalSubgroup_sub_clopen_nhds_of_one, which states that in a compact topological group, for any clopen neighborhood of 1, there exists an open normal subgroup contained within it.

We then apply this lemma to show ProfiniteGrp.closedSubgroup_eq_sInf_open: any closed subgroup of a profinite group is the intersection of the open subgroups containing it.

This file is split out from the file OpenSubgroup because it needs more imports.

Any closed subgroup of a profinite group is the intersection of the open subgroups containing it. See https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/5023433/closed-subgroups-of-a-compact-topological-group.
