mean.m: more Matlab compatibility (bugs #58116, #50571). Background: This improved function was released with the Statistics Package. * scripts/statistics/mean.m: now accepts vector dimensions and options to handle `NaN` values. The option `"a"` (arithmetic mean), `"g"` (geometric mean), and `"h"` (harmonic mean) are no longer accepted, only the arithmetic mean is computed. For the geometric and harmonic mean, please use respective functions `geomean` and `harmmean` from the Octave Statistics package. * etc/NEWS.8.md: announce changes. Co-authored-by: Kai T. Ohlhus <k.ohlhus@gmail.com>
