    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The function scripts/polynomial/poly.m should accept only a 1-D vector or a
2-D square matrix. Passing it more than 2 dimensions should be an error in
poly itself but this example causes it to pass through to eig:


octave:4> poly (ones (2,2,2))
error: EIG requires square matrix
error: called from
    poly at line 72 column 7


A possible patch of the input validation is attached. Passes BISTs. Please
review and if all is good I'll add a commit message.
