Limits of epimorphisms in coherent topoi #

This file proves that a sequential limit of epimorphisms is epimorphic in the category of sheaves for the coherent topology on a preregular finitary extensive category where sequential limits of effective epimorphisms are effective epimorphisms.

In other words, given epimorphisms of sheaves

⋯ ⟶ Xₙ₊₁ ⟶ Xₙ ⟶ ⋯ ⟶ X₀,

the projection map lim Xₙ ⟶ X₀ is an epimorphism (see coherentTopology.epi_π_app_zero_of_epi).

This is deduced from the corresponding statement about locally surjective morphisms of sheaves (see coherentTopology.isLocallySurjective_π_app_zero_of_isLocallySurjective_map).
