Division theorem (#695)
Division Theorem. For every natural number `x` and positive natural
number `n`, there is a unique decomposition:
`x = q*n + r`
with `q`,`r` natural and `r` < `n`.

`q` is the quotient when dividing `x` by `n`
`r` is the remainder when dividing `x` by `n`.

This commit adds a proof for this fact, in case
we want to reason about modular arithmetic (for example, when dealing
with binary representations). A future, more systematic, development could
perhaps follow: @clayrat 's (idris1) port of Coq's binary arithmetics:

    https://github.com/sbp/idris-bi/blob/master/src/Data/Biz/DivMod.idr
    https://github.com/sbp/idris-bi/blob/master/src/Data/BizMod2/DivMod.idr

In the process, it bulks up the stdlib with:
+ a generic PreorderReasoning module for arbitrary preorders,
analogous for the equational reasoning module
+ some missing facts about Nat operations.
+ Refactor some Nat order properties using a 'reflect' function
