Adjunctions regarding the category of topological spaces

This file shows that the forgetful functor from topological spaces to types has a left and right adjoint, given by TopCat.discrete, resp. TopCat.trivial, the functors which equip a type with the discrete, resp. trivial, topology.

def TopCat.adj₁ : TopCat.discrete ⊣ CategoryTheory.forget TopCat

Equipping a type with the discrete topology is left adjoint to the forgetful functor Top ⥤ Type.
