verifyEquivariant -- rigorously verify GL_n-equivariance of a Schur-rep matrix

Description

Tests whether a matrix M between Schur-functor representations is genuinely $GL_n$-equivariant by checking that $M \circ \rho_{\mathrm{src}}(E_{i,j}) = \rho_{\mathrm{tgt}}(E_{i,j}) \circ M$ for every Chevalley generator $E_{i,j}$. Since the $E_{i,j}$ ($i \neq j$) generate the strictly upper- and strictly lower-triangular parts of $\mathfrak{gl}_n$, and our matrices commute with the diagonal automatically (entries are weight-homogeneous), commutativity with all $E_{i,j}$ is equivalent to full $GL_n$-equivariance.

Action conventions: $E_{i,j}$ acts on $V = K^n$ by $x_l \mapsto \delta_{l,j}\, x_i$ (i.e. the differential operator $x_i\, \partial/\partial x_j$ on polynomials), on a Schur module $S_\lambda V$ by replacing each entry equal to $j$ with $i$ in a tableau (summed over positions, then straightened), and on a tensor product by Leibniz.

Four overloads cover the maps in this package:
i1 : P = QQ[a,b,c];
i2 : M = pieri({3,2,1}, {2}, P);

             6      8
o2 : Matrix P  <-- P
i3 : verifyEquivariant(M, {3,2,1}, {2}, P)

o3 = true
i4 : P = QQ[a,b,c];   -- verify the dual Pieri projection
i5 : N = dualPieri({3,2,1}, {2}, P);

              8       18
o5 : Matrix QQ  <-- QQ
i6 : verifyEquivariant(N, {3,2,1}, {2}, P, Direction => "Dual")

o6 = true
i7 : Q = (lrTableaux({3,2,1}, {2,1}, {2,1}))#0;  -- multiplicity-2 LR inclusion
i8 : M = lrMap(({3,2,1}, {2,1}, {2,1}), Q, 3);

              64       8
o8 : Matrix QQ   <-- QQ
i9 : verifyEquivariant(M, ({3,2,1}, {2,1}, {2,1}), 3)

o9 = true
