Overhaul input validation of sparse() function. * sparse.cc (Fsparse): Decode input type and identify floating point inputs. If input is of single type, emit new warning "Octave:sparse:double-conversion". If input is neither floating point or logical, then call err_wrong_type_arg() for pretty error message. Rename temporary variable 'k' to "argidx" for clarity. New temporary variable "arg" to increase readability of code. Add FIXME note about unreachable code due to behavior of get_dimensions(). * sparse.cc (Fissparse): Turn off warning about double-conversion temporarily for test which has single input. * warning_ids.m: Add description for new warning ID "Octave:sparse:double-conversion". * mk-sparse-tst.sh: Redo BIST tests for sparse() construction.

## @cindex warning ids
##
## @table @code
## @item Octave:abbreviated-property-match
## If the @code{Octave:abbreviated-property-match} warning is enabled, a
## warning is printed if a non-exact or ambiguous match is being used for a
## operation specifying an object property.  For example, for a graphics
## object, @var{fig}, with the property @qcode{'displayname'},
## @code{get (@var{fig}, 'dis')} elicits a warning if the
## @code{Octave:abbreviated-property-match} warning is enabled.
## By default, the @code{Octave:abbreviated-property-match} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:addpath-pkg
## If the @code{Octave:addpath-pkg} warning is enabled,
## Octave will warn when a package directory (i.e., +package_name) is added
## to the @code{path}.  Typically, only the parent directory which contains the
## package directory should be added to the load path.
## By default, the @code{Octave:addpath-pkg} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:array-as-logical
## If the @code{Octave:array-as-logical} warning is enabled,
## Octave will warn when an array of size greater than 1x1 is used
## as a truth value in an if, while, or until statement.
## By default, the @code{Octave:array-as-logical} warning is disabled.
##
## @item Octave:array-to-scalar
## If the @code{Octave:array-to-scalar} warning is enabled, Octave will
## warn when an implicit conversion from an array to a scalar value is
## attempted.
## By default, the @code{Octave:array-to-scalar} warning is disabled.
##
## @item Octave:array-to-vector
## If the @code{Octave:array-to-vector} warning is enabled, Octave will
## warn when an implicit conversion from an array to a vector value is
## attempted.
## By default, the @code{Octave:array-to-vector} warning is disabled.
##
## @item Octave:assign-as-truth-value
## If the @code{Octave:assign-as-truth-value} warning is
## enabled, a warning is issued for statements like
##
## @example
## @group
## if (s = t)
##   @dots{}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## since such statements are not common, and it is likely that the intent
## was to write
##
## @example
## @group
## if (s == t)
##   @dots{}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## instead.
##
## There are times when it is useful to write code that contains
## assignments within the condition of a @code{while} or @code{if}
## statement.  For example, statements like
##
## @example
## @group
## while (c = getc ())
##   @dots{}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## are common in C programming.
##
## It is possible to avoid all warnings about such statements by
## disabling the @code{Octave:assign-as-truth-value} warning,
## but that may also let real errors like
##
## @example
## @group
## if (x = 1)  # intended to test (x == 1)!
##   @dots{}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## slip by.
##
## In such cases, it is possible suppress errors for specific statements by
## writing them with an extra set of parentheses.  For example, writing the
## previous example as
##
## @example
## @group
## while ((c = getc ()))
##   @dots{}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## will prevent the warning from being printed for this statement, while
## allowing Octave to warn about other assignments used in conditional
## contexts.
##
## By default, the @code{Octave:assign-as-truth-value} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:autoload-relative-file-name
## If the @code{Octave:autoload-relative-file-name} is enabled,
## Octave will warn when parsing autoload() function calls with relative
## paths to function files.  This usually happens when using autoload()
## calls in PKG_ADD files, when the PKG_ADD file is not in the same
## directory as the .oct file referred to by the autoload() command.
## By default, the @code{Octave:autoload-relative-file-name} warning is
## enabled.
##
## @item Octave:charmat-truncated
## If the @code{Octave:charmat-truncated} warning is enabled, a warning is
## printed when a character matrix with multiple rows is converted to a string.
## In this case, the Octave interpreter keeps only the first row and discards
## the others.
## By default, the @code{Octave:charmat-truncated} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:classdef-to-struct
## If the @code{Octave:classdef-to-struct} warning is enabled, a warning
## is issued when a classdef object is forcibly converted into a struct with
## @code{struct (@var{CLASSDEF_OBJ})}.  Conversion removes the access
## restrictions from the object and makes private and protected properties
## visible.
## By default, the @code{Octave:classdef-to-struct} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:colon-complex-argument
## If the @code{Octave:colon-complex-argument} warning is enabled, a warning
## is issued when one of the three arguments to the colon operator (base,
## increment, limit) is a complex value.  For example, @code{1:3*i} will
## cause a warning to be emitted.
## By default, the @code{Octave:colon-complex-argument} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:colon-nonscalar-argument
## If the @code{Octave:colon-nonscalar-argument} warning is enabled, a warning
## is issued when one of the three arguments to the colon operator (base,
## increment, limit) is not a scalar.  For example, @code{1:[3, 5]} will
## cause a warning to be emitted.
## By default, the @code{Octave:colon-nonscalar-argument} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:data-file-in-path
## If the @code{Octave:data-file-in-path} warning is enabled, a warning is
## issued when Octave does not find the target of a file operation such as
## @code{load} or @code{fopen} directly, but is able to locate the file in
## Octave's search @code{path} for files.  The warning could indicate that a
## different file target than the programmer intended is being used.
## By default, the @code{Octave:data-file-in-path} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:datevec:date-format-spec
## If the @code{Octave:datevec:date-format-spec} warning is enabled, a warning

## time specifiers.  Typical bad patterns are using uppercase date specifiers
## or lowercase time specifiers.
## By default, the @code{Octave:datevec:date-format-spec} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:deprecated-function

## By default, the @code{Octave:deprecated-option} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:deprecated-property
## If the @code{Octave:deprecated-property} warning is enabled, a
## warning is issued when Octave encounters a graphics property that
## is obsolete and scheduled for removal from Octave.
## By default, the @code{Octave:deprecated-property} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:eigs:UnconvergedEigenvalues
## If the @code{Octave:eigs:UnconvergedEigenvalues} warning is enabled then
## the eigs function will issue a warning if the number of calculated
## eigenvalues is less than the number of requested eigenvalues.
## By default, the @code{Octave:eigs:UnconvergedEigenvalues} warning is
## enabled.
##
## @item Octave:empty-index
## If the @code{Octave:empty-index} warning is enabled then Octave will emit a

## By default, the @code{Octave:erase:chararray} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:function-name-clash
## If the @code{Octave:function-name-clash} warning is enabled, a
## warning is issued when Octave finds that the name of a function
## defined in a function file differs from the name of the file.  (If
## the names disagree, the name declared inside the file is ignored.)
## By default, the @code{Octave:function-name-clash} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:future-time-stamp
## If the @code{Octave:future-time-stamp} warning is enabled, Octave
## will print a warning if it finds a function file with a time stamp
## that is in the future.
## By default, the @code{Octave:future-time-stamp} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:glyph-render
## If the @code{Octave:glyph-render} warning is enabled, Octave will
## print a warning if the glyph for a character couldn't be rendered with
## the current font.
## By default, the @code{Octave:glyph-render} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:imag-to-real
## If the @code{Octave:imag-to-real} warning is enabled, a warning is
## printed for implicit conversions of complex numbers to real numbers.
## By default, the @code{Octave:imag-to-real} warning is disabled.
##
## @item Octave:infinite-loop
## If the @code{Octave:infinite-loop} warning is enabled, a warning is
## printed when an infinite loop is detected such as @code{for i = 1:Inf} or
## @code{while (1)}.
## By default, the @code{Octave:infinite-loop} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:language-extension

## language and that may still be missing in @sc{matlab}.
## By default, the @code{Octave:language-extension} warning is disabled.
## The @option{--traditional} or @option{--braindead} startup options for
## Octave may also be of use, @pxref{Command Line Options}.
##
## @item Octave:legacy-function
## If the @code{Octave:legacy-function} warning is enabled, a
## warning is issued when Octave encounters a function that @sc{matlab} has
## suggested should be avoided.  The function may become obsolete at some
## point in the future and removed, in which case the warning will change to
## @code{Octave:deprecated-function}, and the function will continue to exist
## for two further versions of Octave before being removed.
## By default, the @code{Octave:legacy-function} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:logical-conversion
## If the @code{Octave:logical-conversion} warning is enabled, a warning is

## occurs and any of the elements in the array are not equal to zero or one.
## By default, the @code{Octave:logical-conversion} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:lu:sparse_input
## If the @code{Octave:lu:sparse_input} warning is enabled, Octave
## will warn when the lu function is called with a sparse input and less than
## four output arguments.  In this case, sparsity-preserving column
## permutations are not performed and the result may be inaccurate.
## By default, the @code{Octave:lu:sparse_input} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:missing-glyph
## If the @code{Octave:glyph-render} warning is enabled, Octave will

## By default, the @code{Octave:recursive-path-search} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:remove-init-dir
## The @code{path} function changes the search path that Octave uses
## to find functions.  It is possible to set the path to a value which
## excludes Octave's own built-in functions.  If the
## @code{Octave:remove-init-dir} warning is enabled then Octave will warn
## when the @code{path} function has been used in a way that may render
## Octave unworkable.
## By default, the @code{Octave:remove-init-dir} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:reload-forces-clear
## If several functions have been loaded from the same file, Octave must
## clear all the functions before any one of them can be reloaded.  If
