Finiteness of IsScalarTower

We prove that given IsScalarTower F K A, if A is finite as a module over F then A is finite over K, and (as long as A is Noetherian over F and we have NoZeroSMulDivisors K A) K is finite over F.

In particular these conditions hold when A, F, and K are fields.

The formulas for the dimensions are given elsewhere by FiniteDimensional.finrank_mul_finrank.

In a tower of field extensions A / K / F, if A / F is finite, so is K / F.

(In fact, it suffices that A is a nontrivial ring.)

Note this cannot be an instance as Lean cannot infer A.
