combinatorics: FpGroup.index() optimisiation
References to other Issues or PRs
Brief description of what is fixed or changed
Added the use of Lagrange's theorem to FpGroup.index() method so that it returns |G|/|H| when G has finite order, by using FpGroup.subgroup() and FpGroup.order() methods.
Other comments
I think there is an issue with this method, if the FpGroup has infinite order, but is not picked up by FpGroup._is_infinite() method. I can create this issue with an example.
Added myself to .mailmap as I'm new contributor.
