 Construct a normal toric variety $X$ by providing the rays and maximal cones

+as vector of vectors. By default, this method allows redundancies in the input, e.g. duplicate rays and non-maximal cones. If the user
 is certain that no redundancy exists in the entered information, one can
 pass `non_redundant = true` as third argument. This will bypass these consistency
 checks. In addition, this will ensure that the order of the rays is not
