normalize Name
Strip surface variations a single human's name accumulates across email/calendar systems, so two displays of the same person collapse to the same canonical key.
Order matters — handle the "Lastname, Firstname" reversal FIRST so the rest of the rules see a normal "Firstname Lastname" string.
Examples:
"Dr. Watson" → "Watson" (title)
"John Smith Jr." → "John Smith" (suffix)
"Lynda M Coker" → "Lynda Coker" (middle initial)
"Lynda M. Coker" → "Lynda Coker" (middle initial + dot)
"Coker, Lynda" → "Lynda Coker" (reversed)
"Coker, Lynda M." → "Lynda Coker" (reversed + initial)
