This renames the Math module to MathLib to avoid conflict with the Math class in Java and C#. Prior to this change, the examples in JSON will verify but not compile to Java or C# (error messages about missing symbols indicate the compiler is looking in the standard Math library and not the Dafny Math module).

This does not update the corresponding files under examples. Should it?

This resolves #145

Thanks for reporting this issue and the proposed fix. I'm not yet sure I want to merge it, though, because it will be a breaking change for anyone using the module, and more importantly hides the underlying issue: code compiled from Dafny should not be dumped into the top-level namespace, where these kinds of conflicts could easily occur for other names in the future as well.

I'd also like to get to the bottom of why the CI didn't catch #145 before we resolve it.

Fortunately we're already working on supporting configuring the parent namespace for compiled code: dafny-lang/dafny#4322. We should definitely use that feature when building library code like this to avoid these problems in general.

The old Math module conflicts with the Java and C# module.  This
change moved the Math module out of the top-level namespace.

@robin-aws I've pushed an update that merely moves Math into Dafny.Math.
