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 3-D vector field with arrows.
##
## Plot the (@var{u}, @var{v}, @var{w}) components of a vector field at the
## grid points defined by (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{z}).  If the grid is uniform
## then @var{x}, @var{y}, and @var{z} can be specified as vectors and
## @code{meshgrid} is used to create the 3-D grid.
##
## If @var{x} and @var{y} are not given they are assumed to be
## @code{(1:@var{m}, 1:@var{n})} where
## @code{[@var{m}, @var{n}] = size (@var{u})}.
##
## The optional input @var{s} is a scalar defining a scaling factor to use for
## the arrows of the field relative to the mesh spacing.  A value of 1.0 will
## result in the longest vector exactly filling one grid cube.  A value of 0
## or "off" disables all scaling.  The default value is 0.9.
##
## The style to use for the plot can be defined with a line style @var{style}
## of the same format as the @code{plot} command.  If a marker is specified
## then the markers are drawn at the origin of the vectors (which are the grid
## points defined by @var{x}, @var{y}, @var{z}).  When a marker is specified,
## the arrowhead is not drawn.  If the argument @qcode{"filled"} is given then
## the markers are filled.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then plot into this axes,
## rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## The optional return value @var{h} is a graphics handle to a quiver object.
## A quiver object regroups the components of the quiver plot (body, arrow,
## and marker), and allows them to be changed together.
##
## @example
## @group
## [x, y, z] = peaks (25);
## surf (x, y, z);
## hold on;
## [u, v, w] = surfnorm (x, y, z / 10);
## h = quiver3 (x, y, z, u, v, w);
## set (h, "maxheadsize", 0.33);
## @end group
