This PR adds the Gorenstein-Walter theorem (1965): a finite nonabelian simple group with dihedral Sylow 2-subgroups is isomorphic to PSL₂(q) for some odd prime power q ≥ 5 or to A₇. A ~250-page paper across three parts; the first major application of the Bender method in CFSG and a template for later Sylow-2-structure papers.

Uses Mathlib's PSL, DihedralGroup, alternatingGroup, and GaloisField — no new definitions.

The previous docstring claimed `Fact p.Prime` is "used (via `letI`) to
reach the GaloisField". In fact the existential `∃ _hp : Fact p.Prime`
makes the typeclass available directly in the body of the existential
— no `letI` is involved. Update the comment to match.
