We fix a "bug" in to_cycle() of SignedPermutation that does not return the negation of a positive cycle, and add an option to hide these cycles (the current behavior in Sage).

We add a cycle_type() method that returns the corresponding PartitionTuple object.

We add a conjugacy_class_reprensentative() method.

A while-we-are-at-it thing: we fix a bug in the error output for Permutation.element_in_conjugacy_class() (which a better name IMO is conjugacy_class_reprensentative()).

This was done jointly with Arvind Ayyer @ayyer during SageDays 122. We have cross reviewed each others' code.

@mantepse @fchapoton Can one of you double-check and approve the PR?

The definition of negative cycle in cycle_type is not clear at all and possibly wrong.

<!-- Describe your changes here in detail -->

We fix a "bug" in `to_cycle()` of `SignedPermutation` that does not
return the negation of a positive cycle, and add an option to hide these
cycles (the current behavior in Sage).

We add a `cycle_type()` method that returns the corresponding
`PartitionTuple` object.

We add a `conjugacy_class_reprensentative()` method.

A while-we-are-at-it thing: we fix a bug in the error output for
`Permutation.element_in_conjugacy_class()` (which a better name IMO is
`conjugacy_class_reprensentative()`).
