    normal_derivative(grid::EquidistantGrid{1}, closure_stencil::Stencil, region::Region)

Creates the normal derivative boundary operator `d` as a `TensorMapping`

`d` is the normal derivative of a grid function at the boundary specified by `boundary` or `region` using some `closure_stencil`.
`d'` is the prolongation of the normal derivative of a grid function to the whole grid using the same `closure_stencil`.
On a one-dimensional `grid`, `d` is a `BoundaryOperator`. On a multi-dimensional `grid`, `d` is the inflation of
a `BoundaryOperator`. Also see the documentation of `SbpOperators.boundary_operator(...)` for more details.
