Details:

This patch fixes bug #44220 (fminsearch >2 output arguments) and bug #41888
(fminsearch: should pass additional arguments to called function). The doubts
in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41888#comment5 should also be addressed and
I added some tests for the syntax in
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41888#comment7.
Additionally, it implements the other FIXMEs from the list  below the help
text.

I left the search algorithm untouched so that it should be save to apply this
patch.

The Mathworks documentation for OutputFcn ([1]) states that it can be called
with the state "interrupt". But I do not understand when this happens and I
cannot test since this seems not to be available in R2012a. Thus, with this
patch the output function will not be called with this state.
I tried the examples given on [1] and they seem to work. I had to change
"Example of a Nested Output Function" since handles to nested functions do not
work in Octave (see attached myproblem.m).
