#36881 introduced some wrong results for orders of linear groups since it did not check whether the base ring is a field. We add the necessary checks as well as formulas for some further cases, namely $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z}.$ Finally, we add a NotImplementedError for the cases that are not supported.

The formula for the general linear group over $\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z}$ is taken from https://math.stackexchange.com/a/2044571, and for the order of the special linear group we use the group isomorphism induced by the determinant.

Fixes #37934.

Mostly a bunch of little things. We do not want to return Python ints. We can take advantage of the closure in Python. It would be good to add a test verifying the result:

sage: G = GL(2, Integers(6))
sage: G.order() == len(list(G))
True
sage: G = SL(2, Integers(6))
sage: G.order() == len(list(G))
True

Not sure why the tests failed, but the error makes it seem like a CI issue.

Indeed, something seems borked with it.
