/** simplifies a product expression
 *
 * Summary: we first build a list of expressions (called finalchildren) which will be the children of the simplified product
 * and then we process this list in order to enforce SP8 and SP10.
 *
 * Description: In order to build finalchildren, we first build a list of unsimplified children (called unsimplifiedchildren)
 * with the children of the product. Each node of the list is manipulated (see simplifyFactor) in order to satisfy
 * SP2 and SP7 as follows:
 * - SP7: if the node's expression is a value, multiply the value to the products's coef
 * - SP2: if the node's expression is a product, then build a list with the child's children
 *
 * Then, we merge the built list (or the simplified node) into finalchildren. While merging, nodes from finalchildren
 * can go back to unsimplifiedchildren for further processing (see mergeProductExprlist() for more details).
 * After building finalchildren, we create the simplified product out of it, taking care that SP8 and SP10 are satisfied
