extend var and std with dim options (bug #58116) and weights (patch #10103) * /scripts/statistics/var.m: adds scalar and vector weights, vector and "all" dim options, compatible empty input handling. Also updates BISTs and dosctring. * /scripts/statistics/std.m: simplifies std as simple sqrt(var(x)) wrapper, inheriting the extensions to var. Updates docstring and BISTs accordingly. * /NEWS: notes improved matlab compatibility

 - The function `repelem` now produces a row vector output when the input is
 a scalar.
 
+- The functions `var` and `std` now accept a weight vector as input and
+compute the weigthed variance.  Dimension input now allows a vector and
