Divisibility of power series by constants #

A constant power series C r divides f exactly when r divides every coefficient of f. This is the power-series form of Mathlib's Polynomial.C_dvd_iff_dvd_coeff and MvPolynomial.C_dvd_iff_dvd_coeff, and the one-variable case of MvPowerSeries.C_dvd_iff_dvd_coeff.

It is the step that removes a common power of a uniformiser from the coefficients of a power series over a discrete valuation ring before applying Weierstrass preparation.

A constant power series C r divides f if and only if r divides every coefficient of f.
