Continues on from #957 and makes progress on #851.

Introduces schwartzEquiv, the LinearEquiv between Schwartz functions and their image in the Hilbert space, along with some basic properties. This bijection is then used to define three symmetric unbounded operators with Schwartz submodule for domain, using the previously-defined continuous linear maps on Schwartz functions. These are the position and momentum unbounded operators, defined component-wise, and the (regularized) radius operator to any real power.

There remains one sorry which will have to be revisited. Showing that the momentum operator on Schwartz functions is symmetric requires two results for Space.deriv: integration-by-parts over all of Space d and commutation through complex conjugation.
