New description:

 This patch adds a function `is_vertically_decomposable` to finite
 lattices.

 For testing see https://oeis.org/A058800 ; for example

 {{{
 sum([1 for L in Posets(6) if L.is_lattice() and
  not LatticePoset(L).is_vertically_decomposable()])
 }}}

 returns 7 as it should.

 There is a place for possible optimization: If there is, say, covering
 relations `bottom -> 5`, `3 -> 8` and `7 -> top`, is suffices to show that
 the lattice is not vertically decomposable. This might be faster on
 average. Now the complexity is linear to number of covering relations.

Comment (by jmantysalo):

 This code should now work.

 I still don't know how to make the user interface... For posets we have
 boolean-valued `is_connected()` and subposets-valued
 `connected_components()`. But what should then be the function returning
 only "decomposing elements". I will ask in sage-devel.

 Comments on documentation are welcome.
