Reciprocal building blocks are completely monotone #
This file adds a second family of concrete completely monotone functions to the
OneParameterSemigroups roadmap, alongside the exponentials t ↦ e^{-x t} already in
TauCeti.Analysis.CompletelyMonotone.Basic: the reciprocals of affine functions
t ↦ (a + t)⁻¹ with a > 0.
These are the resolvent kernels t ↦ (λ + t)⁻¹ that Part A of the roadmap builds a semigroup
theory around, and they are among the basic Stieltjes (resolvent) kernels appearing in Stieltjes
representations. The acceptance example t ↦ 1/(1 + t) named in Part B of the roadmap is the
special case a = 1; its representing measure e^{-x} dx is the exponential distribution.

For a > 0, the reciprocal t ↦ (a + t)⁻¹ is completely monotone. This is the resolvent
kernel t ↦ (λ + t)⁻¹ of the roadmap's semigroup theory.
For a > 0, the reciprocal t ↦ 1 / (a + t) is completely monotone. This is the 1 / (a + t)
phrasing of the resolvent kernel isCompletelyMonotone_inv_const_add.
The roadmap acceptance example: t ↦ 1 / (1 + t) is completely monotone. Its representing
measure under Bernstein's theorem is the exponential distribution e^{-x} dx.
