Add "pretopos" and related properties #96

Description

@dschepler

For topos theory aficionados, it might be interesting to add the "pretopos" property, which would also prompt adding some of the component properties. For the latter, I haven't done a thorough investigation of what might already be there: regular (having mono-epi factorizations which are stable under pullbacks); (Barr-)exact (regular and having "strict" quotients of all internal equivalence relations); extensive (though I do remember seeing the related property lextensive).

That might also prompt adding a category example of the category of compact Hausdorff topological spaces, which is an example of pretopos + cartesian closed + ~ subobject classifier (+ the forgetful functor to Set is monadic).

I realize that might be a lot to add, and classify especially some of the component properties for existing categories - so if you want, I could maybe take a deeper look at what would be involved in creating a PR for this myself, though it might be a little while before I can find the time for that.

I don't know that we'd need to add all the variants at the ncatlab page, such as W-pretopos, $\Pi$-pretopos, etc. - at least not in this go around.
