Add utility function to check normalization
Python's built-in unicodedata library includes the is_normalized()
function starting with Python 3.8. This utility function allows us
to do the same thing with earlier Python versions.

See: https://docs.python.org/3/library/unicodedata.html

Python's built-in unicodedata library has the is_normalized() function, but
