Closes #1809.

Two notes:

  • The class I defined is not really necessary here, however it's useful on its own, i.e. see this
  • The existence of such spaces is consistent with ZFC, so I think the statement I chose is the morally "right" one, i.e. it is impossible to prove ¬ ∃ (X : Type*) (_ : TopologicalSpace X) (_ : HasPointsGδ X) (_ : LindelofSpace X), 𝔠 < #X without additional axioms.

Move these to ForMathlib?

Yeah, there are a few theorems one could add about this acutually

I might add some later

But I kind of prefer to put everything into the ForMathlib once all of #1849 is formalised (shouldnt take too long), to keep things organised better.

I feel like it's easier to move things as they come, also from a reviewing perspective
