Definitions and basic properties of normal monomorphisms and epimorphisms.

A normal monomorphism is a morphism that is the kernel of some other morphism.

We give the construction NormalMono → RegularMono (CategoryTheory.NormalMono.regularMono) as well as the dual construction for normal epimorphisms. We show equivalences reflect normal monomorphisms (CategoryTheory.equivalenceReflectsNormalMono), and that the pullback of a normal monomorphism is normal (CategoryTheory.normalOfIsPullbackSndOfNormal).

We also define classes IsNormalMonoCategory and IsNormalEpiCategory for categories in which every monomorphism or epimorphism is normal, and deduce that these categories are RegularMonoCategorys resp. RegularEpiCategorys.
