Subadditivity of the logarithmic height under multiplication

Proved
baker_height_mul_le

The logarithmic Weil height is subadditive under multiplication: for elements x, y of a field with admissible absolute values, h(xy) is at most h(x) + h(y). This is the basic height calculus used in every Baker-type Diophantine application.
