Add optional second output to var and std (bug #62395) * scripts/statistics/var.m: Add optional second output containing the mean used to calculate the variance. Move weight isempty check ahead of vector dimension isscalar check to avoid triggering incompatability error. Add BISTs testing second output with different calling options. Add BIST testing empty value passed as variance weight treated as zero. Add new output behavior to docstring, and update function definitions to show the primary variable. * scripts/statistics/std.m: Add passthrough for second output from var when std called with two outputs. Add BISTs testing second output with different calling options. Update docstring noting new output behavior. * etc/NEWS.8.md: Note output changes to var and std under Matlab Compatability.

## Calculate the moving standard deviation over a sliding window of length
## @var{wlen} on data @var{x}.
##
## If @var{wlen} is a scalar, the function @code{movstd} is applied to a
## moving window of length @var{wlen}.  When @var{wlen} is an odd number the
## window is symmetric and includes @w{@code{(@var{wlen} - 1) / 2}} elements on
## either side of the central element.  For example, when calculating the
## output at index 5 with a window length of 3, @code{movstd} uses data
## elements @w{@code{[4, 5, 6]}}.  If @var{wlen} is an even number, the window
## is asymmetric and has @w{@code{@var{wlen}/2}} elements to the left of the
## central element and @w{@code{@var{wlen}/2 - 1}} elements to the right of the
## central element.  For example, when calculating the output at index 5 with a
## window length of 4, @code{movstd} uses data elements
## @w{@code{[3, 4, 5, 6]}}.
##
## If @var{wlen} is an array with two elements @w{@code{[@var{nb}, @var{na}]}},
## the function is applied to a moving window @code{-@var{nb}:@var{na}}.  This
## window includes @var{nb} number of elements @emph{before} the current
## element and @var{na} number of elements @emph{after} the current element.
## The current element is always included.  For example, given
## @w{@code{@var{wlen} = [3, 0]}}, the data used to calculate index 5 is
## @w{@code{[2, 3, 4, 5]}}.
##
## The optional argument @var{opt} determines the type of normalization to use.
## Valid values are
##
## @table @asis
## @item 0:
##   normalize with @math{N-1}, provides the square root of the best unbiased
## estimator of the variance [default]
##
## @item 1:
##   normalize with @math{N}, this provides the square root of the second
## moment around the mean
## @end table
##
## If the optional argument @var{dim} is given, operate along this dimension.
## The normalization argument @var{opt} must be given before the dimension.
##
## The optional string argument @qcode{"@var{nancond}"} controls whether
## @code{NaN} and @code{NA} values should be included (@qcode{"includenan"}),
## or excluded (@qcode{"omitnan"}), from the data passed to @code{movstd}.  The
## default is @qcode{"includenan"}.  Caution: the @qcode{"omitnan"} option is
## not yet implemented.
##
## The calculation can be controlled by specifying @var{property}/@var{value}
## pairs.  Valid properties are
##
## @table @asis
##
## @item @qcode{"Endpoints"}
##
## This property controls how results are calculated at the boundaries
## (@w{endpoints}) of the window.  Possible values are:
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"shrink"}  (default)
## The window is truncated at the beginning and end of the array to exclude
## elements for which there is no source data.  For example, with a window of
## length 3, @code{@var{y}(1) = movstd (@var{x}(1:2))}, and
## @code{@var{y}(end) = movstd (@var{x}(end-1:end))}.
##
## @item @qcode{"discard"}
## Any @var{y} values that use a window extending beyond the original
## data array are deleted.  For example, with a 10-element data vector and a
## window of length 3, the output will contain only 8 elements.  The first
## element would require calculating the function over indices
## @w{@code{[0, 1, 2]}} and is therefore discarded.  The last element would
## require calculating the function over indices @w{@code{[9, 10, 11]}} and is
## therefore discarded.
##
## @item @qcode{"fill"}
## Any window elements outside the data array are replaced by @code{NaN}.  For
## example, with a window of length 3,
## @code{@var{y}(1) = movstd ([NaN, @var{x}(1:2)])}, and
## @code{@var{y}(end) = movstd ([@var{x}(end-1:end), NaN])}.
## This option usually results in @var{y} having @code{NaN} values at the
## boundaries, although it is influenced by how @code{movstd} handles
## @code{NaN}, and also by the property @qcode{"nancond"}.
##
## @item @var{user_value}
## Any window elements outside the data array are replaced by the specified
## value @var{user_value} which must be a numeric scalar.  For example, with a
## window of length 3,
## @code{@var{y}(1) = movstd ([@var{user_value}, @var{x}(1:2)])}, and
## @code{@var{y}(end) = movstd ([@var{x}(end-1:end), @var{user_value}])}.
## A common choice for @var{user_value} is 0.
##
## @item @qcode{"same"}
## Any window elements outside the data array are replaced by the value of
## @var{x} at the boundary.  For example, with a window of length 3,
## @code{@var{y}(1) = movstd ([@var{x}(1), @var{x}(1:2)])}, and
## @code{@var{y}(end) = movstd ([@var{x}(end-1:end), @var{x}(end)])}.
##
## @item @qcode{"periodic"}
## The window is wrapped so that any missing data elements are taken from
## the other side of the data.  For example, with a window of length 3,
## @code{@var{y}(1) = movstd ([@var{x}(end), @var{x}(1:2)])}, and
## @code{@var{y}(end) = movstd ([@var{x}(end-1:end), @var{x}(1)])}.
##
## @end table
##
## @item @qcode{"SamplePoints"}
## Caution: This option is not yet implemented.
##
## @end table
##
## Programming Note: This function is a wrapper which calls @code{movfun}.
## For additional options and documentation, @pxref{XREFmovfun,,@code{movfun}}.
