#15192: add is_unit() for residue fields
------------------------+-------------------------------
  Reporter:  saraedum   |             Type:  enhancement
    Status:  new        |         Priority:  trivial
 Milestone:  sage-5.12  |        Component:  categories
Resolution:             |  Report Upstream:  N/A
------------------------+-------------------------------
 Currently, residue fields have no `is_unit`:
 {{{
 sage: K.<z> = CyclotomicField(7)
 sage: P = K.factor(17)[0][0]
 sage: ff = K.residue_field(P)
 sage: a = ff(z)
 sage: a.is_unit()
 NotImplementedError
 }}}

 They are fields but the implementation from `Fields.ElementMethods` is not
 used because the generic ring class defines a trivial `is_unit()` already.
 This ticket moves that method to the category of rings which gives a
 working `is_unit()` for residue fields.
