Profinite groups are nonarchimedean #

A topological group is nonarchimedean when every neighbourhood of the identity contains an open subgroup. In a compact totally disconnected topological group every open neighbourhood of the identity contains an open normal subgroup, which is Mathlib's ProfiniteGrp.exist_openNormalSubgroup_sub_open_nhds_of_one; this file records the consequence as the NonarchimedeanGroup instance, so that everything Mathlib and Tau Ceti prove about nonarchimedean groups — the basis of open subgroups at the identity, the transport to quotients and subgroups, total separatedness of Hausdorff nonarchimedean groups — applies to profinite groups and to compact totally disconnected topological modules without further argument.
