   * Squeeze a matrix, remove outer singleton dimensions from a matrix.
   *
   * Syntax:
   *
   *     math.squeeze(x)
   *
   * Examples:
   *
   *     var math = mathjs();
   *
   *     math.squeeze([3]);           // returns 3
   *     math.squeeze([[3]]);         // returns 3
   *
   *     var A = math.zeros(1, 3, 2); // returns [[[0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0]]] (size 1x3x2)
   *     math.squeeze(A);             // returns [[0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0]] (size 3x2)
   *
   *     // only outer dimensions will be squeezed, so the following B will be left as as
   *     var B = math.zeros(3, 1, 1); // returns [[[0]], [[0]], [[0]]] (size 3x1x1)
   *     math.squeeze(B);             // returns [[[0]], [[0]], [[0]]] (size 3x1x1)
   *
