Theorem cvmlift

Description: One of the important properties of covering maps is that any path G in the base space "lifts" to a path f in the covering space such that F o. f = G , and given a starting point P in the covering space this lift is unique. The proof is contained in cvmliftlem1 thru cvmliftlem15 . (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 16-Feb-2015)
