ambientAbstractSimplicialComplexSize -- The ambient simplex size

Description

If an abstract simplicial complex has vertices supported on a subset of [n] = {1,...,n], and including n, then it seems useful to regard this simplicial complex as being a subsimplicial complex of the simplex on [n]. This method simply returns this largest integer n.

i1 : K = abstractSimplicialComplex({{1,2},{3}})

o1 = AbstractSimplicialComplex{-1 => {{}}          }
                               0 => {{1}, {2}, {3}}
                               1 => {{1, 2}}

o1 : AbstractSimplicialComplex
i2 : J = ambientAbstractSimplicialComplexSize(K)

o2 = 3
