Image of a hyperplane under inversion

In this file we prove that the inversion with center c and radius R ≠ 0 maps a sphere passing through the center to a hyperplane, and vice versa. More precisely, it maps a sphere with center y ≠ c and radius dist y c to the hyperplane AffineSubspace.perpBisector c (EuclideanGeometry.inversion c R y).

The exact statements are a little more complicated because EuclideanGeometry.inversion c R sends the center to itself, not to a point at infinity.

We also prove that the inversion sends an affine subspace passing through the center to itself.
