feat(complexity): #P and UP ∩ coUP oracle lowness, Low(#P) = UP ∩ coUP, Low(GapP) = SPP, and modular counting lowness

Objective

Complete the unsigned and signed counting oracle-lowness hierarchy in Complexity/Computability/Complexity/Classes/SharpP/Lowness.lean (following SharpP/Oracle.lean, WPP/Lowness.lean, and #719):

Precomposition of #P and GapP with FP^(UP ∩ coUP) functions:
- Prove SharpP.encoded_comp_mem_of_computableInPolyTimeWithOracle and SharpP.comp_mem_of_computableInPolyTimeWithOracle: for A ∈ UP encBits ∩ coUP encBits, f : α → β computable in polynomial time relative to A, and F : α × List Bool → ℕ in SharpP (encPair enc encBits), (fun a => F (a, output (f a))) ∈ SharpP enc.
- Prove the signed GapP analogues GapP.encoded_comp_mem_of_computableInPolyTimeWithOracle and GapP.comp_mem_of_computableInPolyTimeWithOracle.
Exact #P oracle lowness characterization (Low(#P) = UP ∩ coUP, [Köbler–Schöning–Torán 1989; Hemachandra 1989]):
- SharpPWithOracle_eq_SharpP_of_mem_UP_of_mem_coUP: for A ∈ UP encBits ∩ coUP encBits, SharpPWithOracle A enc = SharpP enc for every instance encoding enc.
- SharpPWithOracle_eq_SharpP_iff : SharpPWithOracle A encBits = SharpP encBits ↔ A ∈ UP encBits ∩ coUP encBits (and forall_SharpPWithOracle_eq_SharpP_iff, iUnion_SharpPWithOracle_UP_inter_coUP).
Relativized UP, coUP, FewP, US, and SBPWithFixedTarget and their UP ∩ coUP lowness:
- Define UPWithOracle, coUPWithOracle, FewPWithOracle, USWithOracle, and SBPWithFixedTarget (retaining an unrelativized FP threshold, analogous to LWPPWithFixedTarget and WPPWithFixedTarget), with verifier characterizations mem_UPWithOracle and mem_FewPWithOracle, base inclusions, and P-oracle elimination.
- Prove UP ∩ coUP lowness for UP, coUP, FewP, US, and SBPWithFixedTarget, and prove the exact iff characterizations UPWithOracle_eq_UP_and_coUPWithOracle_eq_coUP_iff and UPWithOracle_inter_coUPWithOracle_eq_iff (Low(UP ∩ coUP) = UP ∩ coUP).
Exact GapP and SPP oracle lowness characterizations (Low(GapP) = Low(SPP) = SPP, [Fenner–Fortnow–Kurtz 1994, Theorem 5.14]):
- Prove GapPWithOracle_eq_GapP_iff : GapPWithOracle A encBits = GapP encBits ↔ A ∈ SPP encBits and SPPWithOracle_eq_SPP_iff : SPPWithOracle A encBits = SPP encBits ↔ A ∈ SPP encBits (plus forall_* and iUnion_* corollaries).
Relativized modular counting (ModPWithOracle, coModPWithOracle, ParityPWithOracle) and SPP / FewP / UP ∩ coUP lowness:
- Define ModPWithOracle, coModPWithOracle, and ParityPWithOracle (ModPWithOracle 2 A enc = ParityPWithOracle A enc).
- Prove UP ∩ coUP lowness for all k : ℕ, the GapPWithOracle residue characterizations for 0 < k, and SPP (hence FewP) lowness for ModPWithOracle k, coModPWithOracle k, and ParityPWithOracle (0 < k).
Tests, axiom guards, and documentation:
- Add nonvacuous tests and #print axioms guards in ComplexityTests/SharpPLowness.lean and update ROADMAP.md.

coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023 (not Samuel): #734's implemented lowness milestones are source-approved, reusing exact-head nonauthor math review6379699026. Coordinator verdict6380224122 requests description/closure corrections: objective 5's relativized GapP residue-characterization APIs are not exported yet. Keep this acceptance item open (use Refs rather than automatic closure) unless supplied or explicitly dispositioned; no broader fresh proof audit is requested.
