unqiue.m: Implement third output when 'stable' sort is used. (bug #65176)
* scripts/set/unique.m: Implement third output mapping Y back to X when
'stable' sort option is used. Refactor code for second and third outputs to
remove redundancy. Replace repeated calls to sort in second and third output
code with index expressions and remove associated FIXME note. Remove
unimplemented note from docstring. Update multi-output BISTs for stable with
new correct output. Add additional BISTs to test 'stable' output with other
options.
* etc/NEWS.10.md: Note implementation under Matlab compatibility section.
