Definition of birational morphisms for spaces

This is just one possible way of extending the defition for schemes to
the case of algebraic spaces.

A singleton decent algebraic space is a scheme

	It seems that I missed this simple argument the first time
	through. Not sure why!

LaTeX: \Spec

	Introduced the macro

	\def\Spec{\mathop{\rm Spec}}

	and changed all the occurences of \text{Spec} into \Spec.

Decent Algebraic Spaces

	Created a new chapter "Decent Algebraic Spaces" and moved most
	of the material on local conditions of algebraic spaces in
	there. In the next few commits we will fix the breakage that this
	causes.

	The reason for the move is that this material is difficult to
	understand for the beginner and that most of the other material
	in Properties of Spaces and Morphisms of Spaces is easier and
	more analogous to what happens for schemes.

	An added advantage is that we can use results on morphisms of
	algebraic spaces in the new chapter, hence it becomes easier to
	develop the theory of decent spaces.

Properties of Spaces: A decent, reduced singleton space is a field

	This is one reason why "decent" is a nice condition.
