'iscomplex' not a useful function

The intended behavior of the 'iscomplex' function is to indicate whether a
number has a nonzero imaginary part. This is a useful functionality, but it
is covered by the function 'isreal'. Since the complex numbers form a
superset of the reals, and octave does not seem to be using any numbers
other than these, I suggest to drop the 'iscomplex' function completely.
