coloring_nested_tire_graphs: state Tait correspondence on partial tire dual; cite Tait 1880

Adds Proposition 1.13: the number of non-equivalent proper 4-vertex-
colorings of a tire graph T (mod S_4) equals the number of non-
equivalent proper 3-edge-colorings of its partial tire dual D(T) (mod
S_3).  The map is the classical Tait XOR construction: identifying
the four colors with Z_2 x Z_2, each edge of T receives an edge color
equal to the XOR of its endpoint colors, which lies in the three
nonzero elements of Z_2 x Z_2 -- giving the corresponding edge of
D(T) a 3-edge-color.  Annular triangles of T, encoded as degree-3
vertices d_f of D(T), supply the three-distinct-colors constraint.

Adds Remark 1.14 explaining the analogy with Tait's classical
correspondence.

Adds Tait 1880 bibitem (Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh,
vol. 10).

\begin{proposition}[Tait correspondence on the partial tire dual]
\label{prop:tait-tire}
The number of non-equivalent proper $4$-vertex-colorings of a tire
graph $T$ (modulo permutation of the four colors) equals the number
of non-equivalent proper $3$-edge-colorings of its partial tire dual
$D(T)$ (modulo permutation of the three colors).
\end{proposition}
\begin{remark}
\label{rem:tait}
Proposition~\ref{prop:tait-tire} is the tire-graph analogue of Tait's
classical correspondence~\cite{Tait1880}: identifying the four colors
with the elements of $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$, the XOR of
the two endpoint colors of an edge of $T$ lies in the three nonzero
elements of $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$ and assigns a proper
$3$-edge-coloring to the corresponding edge of $D(T)$. The annular
triangles of $T$, encoded as the degree-$3$ vertices $d_f$ of $D(T)$,
contribute the requirement that each $d_f$'s three incident edges
carry three distinct colors.
