[xyz]lim.m: Add ability to query/set limit calculation method. * NEWS.9.md: Announce change in Matlab Compatibility section. * __axis_limits__.m: Add functionality to query/set "[xyz]limitmethod" graphics property. Improve input validation to throw an error if an unrecognized string is given. xlim.m, ylim.m, zlim.m: Add documentation about new feature. Expand BIST tests to test new feature.

## Called without arguments @code{xlim} returns the x-axis limits of the
## current plot.
##
## With the input query @qcode{"mode"}, return the current x-limit calculation
## mode which is either @qcode{"auto"} or @qcode{"manual"}.
##
## With the input query @qcode{"method"}, return the current x-limit
## calculation method which is either @qcode{"tickaligned"}, @qcode{"tight"},
## or @qcode{"padded"}.
##
## If passed a 2-element vector [@var{x_lo} @var{x_hi}], the limits of the
## x-axis are set to these values and the mode is set to @qcode{"manual"}.
## The special values -Inf and Inf can be used to indicate that either
## the lower axis limit or upper axis limit should be automatically calculated.
##
## The current limit calculation "mode" may be one of
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"auto"} (default)
## Automatically calculate limits based on the plot data and the currently
## specified limit calculation method.
## 
## @item @qcode{"manual"}
## Fix axis limits at current values.
## @end table
##
## The current limit calculation method may be one of
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"tickaligned"} (default)
## Calculate limits that encompass all of the data and extend outwards to the
## nearest tick mark.
## 
## @item @qcode{"tight"}
## Calculate limits that exactly fit the data range.
##
## @item @qcode{"padded"}
## Calculate limits that leave a margin around the data of approximately 7% of
## the data range.
## @end table
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then operate on
## this axes rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## Programming Note: The @code{xlim} function operates by modifying the
## @qcode{"xlim"}, @qcode{"xlimmode"}, and @qcode{"xlimitmethod"} properties of
## an axes object.  These properties can be directly inspected and altered with
## @code{get}/@code{set}.
