Overhaul close.m to add "force" argument (bug #44324) * close.m: Emit an error if there is no figure handle or "all" argument given. Check for "force" argument and delete the requested figure handles rather than calling closereqfcn. Add BIST input validation tests. Add new calling forms and explanation of "force" to docstring.

##
## When called with no arguments, close the current figure.  This is equivalent
## to @code{close (gcf)}.  If the input @var{h} is a graphic handle, or vector
## of graphics handles, then close each figure in @var{h}.
##
## If the argument @qcode{"all"} is given then all figures with visible handles
## (HandleVisibility = @qcode{"on"}) are closed.
##
## If the argument @qcode{"all hidden"} is given then all figures, including
## hidden ones, are closed.
##
## If the argument @qcode{"all force"} is given then all figures are closed
## even when @qcode{"closerequestfcn"} has been altered to prevent closing
## the window.
##
## Implementation Note: @code{close} operates by calling the function specified
## by the @qcode{"closerequestfcn"} property for each figure.  By default, the
## function @code{closereq} is used.  It is possible that the function invoked
## will delay or abort removing the figure.  To remove a figure without
## executing any callback functions use @code{delete}.  When writing a callback
## function to close a window do not use @code{close} to avoid recursion.
