dec2bin.m: Allow negative number inputs (bug #58147). * dec2bin.m: Document that negative numbers are converted according to 2's complement convention. Add example to documentation of converting a negative number. Add algorithm to detect negative inputs and add the appropriate offset for 2's complement notation. Add BIST tests.

## @deftypefn {} {} dec2bin (@var{d}, @var{len})
## Return a binary number corresponding to the integer @var{d} as a string of
## ones and zeros.  If @var{d} is negative, return the two's complement binary
## value of @var{d}.
##
## For example:
##
## @example
## @group
## dec2bin (14)
##      @result{} "1110"
##
## dec2bin (-14)
##      @result{} "11110010"
## @end group
## @end example
##
## If @var{d} is a matrix or cell array, return a string matrix with one row
## per element in @var{d}, padded with leading zeros to the width of the
## largest value.
##
## The optional second argument, @var{len}, specifies the minimum number of
## digits in the result.
##
