Grönwall bounds in both time directions #
Mathlib's gronwallBound controls a curve forward from the left endpoint. Here the initial
point may be anywhere in a closed interval: an affine time change gives the exact same bound
with elapsed time |t - t₀|. The derivative may be taken within the closed interval, so no
extension beyond its endpoints is required. There are no completeness or sign assumptions.

A derivative norm bound on [a,b] controls the curve from any initial point
t₀ ∈ [a,b] in both time directions. No sign assumptions on the three constants
are needed for the exact Grönwall bound.
Two actual linear trajectories on [a,b] satisfy a two-sided Grönwall
comparison from any initial time t₀ in that interval. The operator bound is on
A₁, and the forcing error is (A₂ - A₁) Z₂. No completeness or sign hypotheses
are needed for this exact bound.
