context for calculus assumptions

[robertwb]

one should be able to do something like

with assumptions(x<0):
    ...

where assume() and forget() would be called on the entering and exiting of the block. This could probably be cleanly done with maxima's contexts.

Depends on #24119

I'm going to implement passing of assumptions into functions, so much of this can be done as an addon to that (with some global assumption list)

See also #780 and #1163 for discussions of assumption issues.

See also this ask.sagemath.org question, which would love this. Note that Maxima does support contexts.

Changed keywords from none to assume

This was implemented in #24119. Should be closed as a dup
