Liminf, limsup, and uniformly locally doubling measures.

This file is a place to collect lemmas about liminf and limsup for subsets of a metric space carrying a uniformly locally doubling measure.

Main results:

• blimsup_cthickening_mul_ae_eq: the limsup of the closed thickening of a sequence of subsets of a metric space is unchanged almost everywhere for a uniformly locally doubling measure if the sequence of distances is multiplied by a positive scale factor. This is a generalisation of a result of Cassels, appearing as Lemma 9 on page 217 of J.W.S. Cassels, Some metrical theorems in Diophantine approximation. I.
• blimsup_thickening_mul_ae_eq: a variant of blimsup_cthickening_mul_ae_eq for thickenings rather than closed thickenings.

This is really an auxiliary result en route to blimsup_cthickening_ae_le_of_eventually_mul_le (which is itself an auxiliary result en route to blimsup_cthickening_mul_ae_eq).

Given a sequence of subsets sᵢ of a metric space, together with a sequence of radii rᵢ such that rᵢ → 0, the set of points which belong to infinitely many of the closed rᵢ-thickenings of sᵢ is unchanged almost everywhere for a uniformly locally doubling measure if the rᵢ are all scaled by a positive constant.

This lemma is a generalisation of Lemma 9 appearing on page 217 of J.W.S. Cassels, Some metrical theorems in Diophantine approximation. I.
