%NormalizeObject to cater for serial, list of objects and user call-back

It will be helpful if the %NormalizeObject method had the same depth of functionality as %ValidateObject. %ValidateObject has the checkserial argument.

Adding the same type of argument to %Normalize will make things simpler when it comes to normalization of objects.

The ability to normalize embedded serial object and collections of serial objects together with the other properties.

Adding a %OnNormalizeObject user callback method will also be helpful for doing additional steps if required.
