quiver: Improve plotting with non-float numeric inputs (bug #59695) * scripts/plot/draw/private/__quiver__.m: Change firstnonnumeric check to look for char instead of numeric to allow for logical inputs. Recast all inputs up to firstnonnumeric as doubles. Check if firstnonnumeric element is 'off' and if so set scale factor to 0 and increment firstnonnumeric. * scripts/plot/draw/quiver.m: Update docstring to include scaling factor option 'off'. Add BIST for int and logical input types. * scripts/plot/draw/quiver3.m: Update docstring to include scaling factor option 'off'. Add BISTs for too-few inputs. * etc/NEWS.9.md: Appended details of changes to quiver note under General Improvements and noted it also applies to quiver3.

## Plot a function @var{fcn} within the range defined by @var{limits}.
##
## @var{fcn} is a function handle, inline function, or string containing the
## name of the function to evaluate.
##
## The limits of the plot are of the form @w{@code{[@var{xlo}, @var{xhi}]}} or
## @w{@code{[@var{xlo}, @var{xhi}, @var{ylo}, @var{yhi}]}}.  If no limits
## are specified the default is @code{[-5, 5]}.
##
## The next three arguments are all optional and any number of them may be
## given in any order.
##
## @var{tol} is the relative tolerance to use for the plot and defaults
## to 2e-3 (.2%).
##
## @var{n} is the minimum number of points to use.  When @var{n} is specified,
## the maximum stepsize will be @code{(@var{xhi} - @var{xlo}) / @var{n}}.  More
## than @var{n} points may still be used in order to meet the relative
## tolerance requirement.
##
## The @var{fmt} argument specifies the linestyle to be used by the plot
## command.
##
## Multiple property-value pairs may also be specified, but they must appear
## in pairs.  These arguments are applied to the line objects drawn by
## @code{plot}.
##
## The full list of line properties is documented at
## @ref{Line Properties}.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then plot into this axes,
## rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## With no output arguments, the results are immediately plotted.  With two
## output arguments, the 2-D plot data is returned.  The data can subsequently
## be plotted manually with @code{plot (@var{x}, @var{y})}.
##
## Example:
##
## @example
## @group
## fplot (@@cos, [0, 2*pi])
## fplot ("[cos(x), sin(x)]", [0, 2*pi])
## @end group
## @end example
##
## Programming Notes:
##
## @code{fplot} works best with continuous functions.  Functions with
## discontinuities are unlikely to plot well.  This restriction may be removed
## in the future.
##
## @code{fplot} performance is better when the function accepts and returns a
## vector argument.  Consider this when writing user-defined functions and use
## element-by-element operators such as @code{.*}, @code{./}, etc.
