Rectangles into the X-marking state of a torus link grid #

In the standard torus link grid torusLink p q the X-markings occupy the diagonal shifted up by q + 1 rows, so the X-marking permutation is a power of the cyclic shift finRotate (torusLink_X_toPerm). This file specialises the cyclic-shift results of Unblocked.lean to the torus grids: the unblocked differential counts every rectangle into the X-marking state G.X, the grid state whose points are the lower-left corners of the X-marked squares (unblockedRectangles_torusLink_X), and each grid state has none or two of them (even_card_unblockedRectangles_torusLink_X). This parity is the hypothesis under which the class of G.X in unblocked grid homology is not torsion.
