It is now supported by the MATLAB editor (as of R2022a).
The old ASCII notation is left in some files that we copy as-is from other
sources (e.g. in the contrib/ and m4/ subdirectories).
The particles submodule is not updated at this point, because it is in an
inconsistent state.

The gamrnd fallback under matlab/missing/stats/ does not work under Octave
because the +gamrnd/ folder is not accessible (it has the same name as the
function, which does not work under Octave).
Instead of fixing this, rather make the statistics toolbox a requirement, since
anyways it is very easy to obtain under Octave.
Accordingly:
- do not try to run the unit tests of matlab/missing/stats/ under Octave
- merge the matlab/missing/stats-matlab/ into matlab/missing/stats/, since this
directory is now MATLAB-only.
Also:
- move matlab/distributions/+gamrnd/ under matlab/missing/stats/ for
consistency
- in the manual: remove obsolete link to Octave downloads on the Dynare
website; update URL of Octave Forge
