std.m, var.m: Cleanup functions.
* std.m: Re-write documentation to be in present tense per Octave convention.
Use lowercase for "all" parameter. Use Texinfo @. to end sentence ending with
capital N. Check for zero arguments to function and call print_usage().
Remove BIST tests for empty inputs and bug #62395 which are simply duplicating
tests in var.m. Remove input validation tests which are duplicating tests in
var.m.
* var.m: Re-write documentation to be in present tense per Octave convention.
Use lowercase for "all" parameter. Use Texinfo @. to end sentence ending with
capital N. Use default in function prototype for third input "dim" to eliminate
elseif branch in input validation. Put input validation as close to top of
function as possible. Rename "highest_dim" to "max_dim" for clarity & brevity.
Rename "ALL" to "all" in error() statements. Replace "strcmp (tolower (...))"
with strcmpi. Avoid slow call to isequal().
