Arithmetic/geometric mean

This is Formalizing 100 Theorems number 38. I observe we already have it for rational numbers, and maybe we can count it?

Some of the other examples definitely focus on reals, though, and we don't yet have multiplication (#1353). I swear I come back to it every now and then, but the casework seems unavoidable and exhausting. I might be able to reduce it, and I'm not that far away...

I remember discussing this with Egbert, and we concluded that when the list does not specify, we should go by what the listed formalizations implement, in this case probably reals.

Now that we have squares and square roots of reals, this should be outright easy.

Whoops, not quite. I see now that the formalization target includes the n-ary case, and we don't have the nth roots necessary to achieve that yet.

#1740 introduces arbitrary roots, making it possible to state the claim (and hopefully to prove it).
