Adjoining elements and being finitely generated in an algebra tower

Main results

• Algebra.fg_trans': if S is finitely generated as R-algebra and A as S-algebra, then A is finitely generated as R-algebra
• fg_of_fg_of_fg: Artin--Tate lemma: if C/B/A is a tower of rings, and A is noetherian, and C is algebra-finite over A, and C is module-finite over B, then B is algebra-finite over A.
