The abelian image and coimage.

In an abelian category we usually want the image of a morphism f to be defined as kernel (cokernel.π f), and the coimage to be defined as cokernel (kernel.ι f).

We make these definitions here, as Abelian.image f and Abelian.coimage f (without assuming the category is actually abelian), and later relate these to the usual categorical notions when in an abelian category.

There is a canonical morphism coimageImageComparison : Abelian.coimage f ⟶ Abelian.image f. Later we show that this is always an isomorphism in an abelian category, and conversely a category with (co)kernels and finite products in which this morphism is always an isomorphism is an abelian category.
