Formalize that products of strict continuous group homomorphisms are strict

In Mathlib, prove that if f : G₁ →* H₁ and g : G₂ →* H₂ are continuous, topologically strict group homomorphisms, then Prod.map f g is strict; add the narrowly required API expressing strictness through rangeRestrict/kernel quotient and the existing IsOpenQuotientMap product theorem.

Why this problem

This is explicitly labeled a good first issue, has a concrete proof architecture from a Mathlib maintainer, and is an unusually bounded formalization gap in topological-group infrastructure rather than a speculative open-ended theorem hunt.

Verification contract

A Lean theorem with no axioms or sorrys, compiled by Mathlib CI; the issue identifies the existing lemmas IsOpenQuotientMap.prodMap and Homeomorph.Set.prod that provide an independently checkable proof route.
