DGAlgebra ** DGAlgebra -- Exterior tensor product of DG algebras over a common ground ring

Description

This is the exterior tensor product of A and B as DGAs: both are viewed as augmented DG algebras over their common ground ring, and the tensor is taken componentwise in multi-degrees. Internally the result is cached on A.cache, so C1 = A ** B and C2 = A ** B return the SAME DGAlgebra object, which is essential for composition identities to hold downstream.

The helpers tensorFactors and tensorInclusions recover the pair (A, B) and the canonical inclusions A -> C and B -> C (as DGAlgebraMaps).
