Relative norms in finite separable extensions #

Mathlib's theorem Ideal.relNorm_eq_pow_of_isMaximal assumes that the fraction field of the base Dedekind domain is perfect. For function fields the needed hypothesis is instead already available in its sharp form: the particular fraction-field extension is separable. This file records that variant, using the same normal-closure argument as the Mathlib theorem.

The relative norm of a maximal ideal in a finite separable extension is the corresponding prime below, raised to the inertia degree. This is the separable-extension variant of Ideal.relNorm_eq_pow_of_isMaximal.

Relative norm preserves the weighted sum of prime factors, with each prime upstairs weighted by its inertia degree over the prime below.
