Lying over along an integral ring homomorphism #

An integral ring homomorphism g : S →+* T lifts each prime ideal of S containing its kernel to a prime ideal of T. This is Mathlib's Ideal.exists_ideal_over_prime_of_isIntegral stated directly for g, so callers need not install an algebra structure.

Lying over along an integral ring homomorphism g : S →+* T: a prime P of S containing the kernel of g is the contraction along g of a prime of T.
