update integral to call quadgk for 'ArrayValued' integrations (bug #62468) * integral.m: Modify integrator selection so that calls with ‘ArrayValued’ go to quadgk instead of quadv. Remove error checks for previously incompatible parameter combinations. Update docstring to remove mention of quadv, point 'ArrayValued' reference to quadgk, change returned error parameter description to match current behavior, and remove parameter incompatibility note. Add BIST to verify combined parameter functionality, and change BISTs checking quadv err parameter. * quadgk.m: Correct parameter name in docstring. * NEWS.8.md: Under General Improvements add note about quadgk now accepting 'ArrayValued' parameter and update integral improvement description of optional returned error parameter. Under Matlab Compatibility add note about integral now accepting all parameter combinations.
