/-- The characteristic polynomial of the map `λ x, a * x` is the minimal polynomial of `a`.

In combination with `det_eq_sign_charpoly_coeff` or `trace_eq_neg_charpoly_coeff`
and a bit of rewriting, this will allow us to conclude the
field norm resp. trace of `x` is the product resp. sum of `x`'s conjugates.
