Covariant derivatives of sections and evaluation of connection operations #
Mathlib's IsCovariantDerivativeOn is additive on pairs of sections differentiable at a point of
the set it is a covariant derivative on. This file derives the corresponding statements for
negatives and differences, and iterates additivity to finite sums of sections. It also evaluates
Mathlib's CovariantDerivative.addOneForm on sections and CovariantDerivative.difference on
section values and fibre vectors.

A covariant derivative over u commutes with finite sums of sections differentiable at a
point of u.
A covariant derivative over u sends the negative of a section differentiable at a point of
u to the negative of its covariant derivative there.
A covariant derivative over u sends the difference of two sections differentiable at a point
of u to the difference of their covariant derivatives there.
Adding an endomorphism-valued one-form, evaluated on a section.
Leibniz rule at a tangent vector. The covariant derivative of f âą Ï at x along v is
f x âą â_v Ï + df_x(v) âą Ï x, for f and Ï differentiable at x.
Leibniz rule along a vector field. The covariant derivative of f âą Ï along a vector
field Z is f times the covariant derivative of Ï along Z, plus the derivative of f along
Z times Ï, for a differentiable function f and a differentiable section Ï.
