In-place normal fill: overwrites `self` with `N(mean, stddev^2)` draws at `self`'s shape/dtype and returns it under the value surface, [`Result`](../Result.md)`<void>` under the [`Result`](../Result.md) surface; [`CLIKART_CHECK`](../../index.md#CLIKART_CHECK) is the mode-stable spelling.

**Throws**

- `ClikaRT::Error`: as [`normal`](./normal.md#normal).
